Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Latest Posts plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.0.7

Description The issue is due to the plugin allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a user-supplied value prior to using that value in a call to do shortcode(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.0.7, update to a version later than 5.0.7 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the do shortcode() function until a patch is available.
