Descriptions

The Display custom fields in the frontend – Post and User Profile Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Code Injection via the plugin's vg_display_data shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1 due to insufficient input validation and restriction on access to that shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to call arbitrary functions and execute code.

El complemento Display custom fields in the frontend – Post and User Profile Fields para WordPress es vulnerable a la inyección de código a través del código corto vg_display_data del complemento en todas las versiones hasta la 1.2.1 incluida, debido a una validación de entrada insuficiente y a la restricción de acceso a ese código corto. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados con permisos de nivel de colaborador y superiores llamen a funciones arbitrarias y ejecuten código.
