CVE-2023-0911

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WordPress Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate versions prior to 5.12.8

Description The issue allows any authenticated users, such as subscribers, to retrieve arbitrary user meta, excluding the user pass, via the user shortcode. This includes sensitive information like the user email and activation key by default.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.12.8, update to version 5.12.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the user shortcode for non-administrative users until the update is applied.
