Descriptions

Missing Authorization vulnerability in add-ons.org PDF for WPForms allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels. This issue affects PDF for WPForms: from n/a through 5.3.0.

The The PDF for WPForms + Drag and Drop Template Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.3.0. 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 authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
