What to do
- Replace it. A closed plugin gets no updates through WordPress, so any hole found from now on stays open.
- Deactivate and delete it once you have a replacement (Plugins → Deactivate → Delete). Deleting removes its files; deactivating alone leaves them on the server.
- If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.
With WP-CLI, once you have a replacement: wp plugin deactivate punnel-landing-page-builder && wp plugin delete punnel-landing-page-builder

Details from the advisory
The Punnel – Landing Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1. The save_config() function, which handles the 'punnel_save_config' AJAX action, lacks any capability check (current_user_can()) and nonce verification. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the plugin's entire configuration including the API key via a POST request to admin-ajax.php. Once the API key is known (because the attacker set it), the attacker can use the plugin's public API endpoint (sniff_requests() at /?punnel_api=1) — which only validates requests by comparing a POST token against the stored api_key — to create, update, or delete arbitrary posts, pages, and products on the site.
