CVE alerts for
WordPress

The The Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.6. 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. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 5.0.4.

The Ultimate Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Navigation Menu Widget data-toggle-icon/data-close-icon Attributes in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. wp_kses_post, applied on save for users without unfiltered_html, does not neutralize HTML-entity-encoded payloads stored inside data-* attributes on kses-allowed elements, as the browser decodes these values client-side before jQuery .html() renders them as markup.

The Timetics WordPress plugin before 1.0.57 does not enforce a pending or unpaid status for new bookings created through a payment method other than its recognised gateways, allowing unauthenticated users to create fully-approved bookings for priced appointments without making any payment.

The Events Manager WordPress plugin before 7.3.7 does not safely handle booking-registration data on sites using No-User-Account Booking Mode: a booker-supplied registration field is stored as booking meta and later deserialized without restricting allowed classes, enabling PHP object injection. The resulting gadget chain reaches a database query that is built without parameterisation, so an unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary database data (e.g. user password hashes, secret keys) when the booking is later loaded.

The Product Addons and Product Options With Custom Fields WordPress plugin before 1.6.15 does not restrict an unauthenticated file-upload endpoint and accepts SVG files that are stored and served inline, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to upload a malicious SVG whose embedded script executes in the session of any user (such as an administrator) who later opens the file.

The WP Foodbakery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'delete_locations_backup_file_callback' function in all versions up to, and including, 4.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
