Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Post Shortcode WordPress plugin versions 2.0.9 and earlier

Recommendations For The Post Shortcode WordPress plugin versions 2.0.9 and earlier, update to a version that addresses this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of shortcodes to trusted users until a patch is available.
