CVE-2023-6226

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.13.3

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to retrieve arbitrary post meta values, which may contain sensitive information when combined with another plugin. This is due to missing validation on the user-controlled keys key and post id via the su meta shortcode.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.13.3, update to a version that includes the necessary validation for the key and post id parameters to prevent unauthorized access to post meta values. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the su meta shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
