Description

The The Authors List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution via update_authors_list_ajax AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.4. 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.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • wpkube Authors List — Up to and including 2.0.4
  • wpkube authors_list — Up to and including 2.0.4
