Descriptions

The WP Latest Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.7. This is due to the plugin allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a user-supplied value prior to using that value in a call to do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.

El complemento WP Latest Posts para WordPress es vulnerable a la ejecución arbitraria de códigos cortos en todas las versiones hasta la 5.0.7 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento permite a los usuarios ejecutar una acción que no valida adecuadamente un valor proporcionado por el usuario antes de usar ese valor en una llamada a do_shortcode. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados ejecuten códigos cortos arbitrarios.
