Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Vladimir Anokhin's Shortcodes Ultimate plugin <= 5.12.0 on WordPress.

Vulnerabilidad de Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) que conduce a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) en el complemento Vladimir Anokhin's Shortcodes Ultimate de Wordpress en versiones &lt;= 5.12.0.

The Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 5.12.0. This is due to missing nonce validation on the ajax_add_preset() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make preset changes and inject malicious JavaScript via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
