Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Embed Any Document – Embed PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel Files plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.7.5

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application via the embeddoc shortcode. This can be used to query and modify information from internal services.
