This unauthenticated vulnerability allows attackers to deplete site resources and bloat the database, leading to potential costs and performance issues for the site owner.
What should be done?

Show the technical text from the sources
The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before 4.6.8 does not perform any capability or nonce check on an unauthenticated request that triggers a server-side, credential-bearing request to a third-party API and stores attacker-controlled cache entries, allowing unauthenticated attackers to consume the site owner's third-party API quota and write unbounded records into the site's database.
