Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Shortcodes AnyWhere plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.1

Description The issue allows arbitrary shortcode execution due to the software not properly validating a value before running do shortcode(). This enables unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.0.1, update to a version later than 1.0.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the do shortcode() function until a patch is available.
