Descriptions

The Ocean Extra plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.6. 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 when WooCommerce is also installed and activated.

El complemento Ocean Extra para WordPress es vulnerable a la ejecución de shortcodes arbitrarios en todas las versiones hasta la 2.4.6 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 permite que atacantes no autenticados ejecuten shortcodes arbitrarios cuando WooCommerce también está instalado y activado.
