Descriptions

The User Shortcodes Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2 via the user_meta shortcode due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to retrieve potentially sensitive user meta.

El complemento User Shortcodes Plus para WordPress es vulnerable a Insecure Direct Object Reference en todas las versiones hasta la 2.0.2 incluida a través del shortcode user_meta debido a la falta de validación en una clave controlada por el usuario. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, recuperen metadatos de usuario potencialmente confidenciales.
