Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Snippet Shortcodes plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.1.4

Description: The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation when adding or editing shortcodes, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify shortcodes via a forged request. This can be achieved if an attacker can trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 4.1.4, update to a version higher than 4.1.4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to shortcode editing and addition functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
