Descriptions

The WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.13.3 via the su_meta shortcode due to missing validation on the user controlled keys 'key' and 'post_id'. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to retrieve arbitrary post meta values which may contain sensitive information when combined with another plugin.

El complemento WP Shortcodes: el complemento Shortcodes Ultimate para WordPress es vulnerable a la referencia directa de objetos inseguros en todas las versiones hasta la 5.13.3 incluida a través del código corto su_meta debido a la falta de validación en las claves controladas por el usuario 'key' y 'post_id'. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaboradores y superiores, recuperen metavalores de publicaciones arbitrarias que pueden contener información confidencial cuando se combinan con otro complemento.
