Vulnerabilities
- Critical 9.8
CVE-2019-15322unauthenticated
The shortcode-factory plugin before 2.8 for WordPress has Local File Inclusion.
- Medium 6.1
CVE-2015-9321unauthenticated · needs a click
The shortcode-factory plugin before 1.1.1 for WordPress has XSS via add_query_arg.
The access label is read from the record's own text (e.g. “subscriber+”: subscriber and above). When the text names no role, CVSS decides between “login required” and “high privilege”; no role name is invented. “Needs a click”: the attack depends on a logged-in user following a link (CSRF, reflected XSS).
