Descriptions

The The WP Popup Builder – Popup Forms and Marketing Lead Generation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution via the wp_ajax_nopriv_shortcode_Api_Add AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.5. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. NOTE: This vulnerability was partially fixed in version 1.3.5 with a nonce check, which effectively prevented access to the affected function. However, version 1.3.6 incorporates the correct authorization check to prevent unauthorized access.

El complemento The WP Popup Builder – Popup Forms and Marketing Lead Generation para WordPress es vulnerable a la ejecución de shortcode arbitrario a través de la acción AJAX wp_ajax_nopriv_shortcode_Api_Add en todas las versiones hasta la 1.3.5 incluida. Esto se debe a que el software permite a los usuarios ejecutar una acción que no valida correctamente un valor antes de ejecutar do_shortcode. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados ejecuten shortcodes arbitrarios. NOTA: Esta vulnerabilidad se solucionó parcialmente en la versión 1.3.5 con una comprobación de nonce, que impidió de manera efectiva el acceso a la función afectada. Sin embargo, la versión 1.3.6 incorpora la comprobación de autorización correcta para evitar el acceso no autorizado.
