Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Uix Shortcodes – Compatible with Gutenberg plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.9.9

Description The issue is related to arbitrary shortcode execution 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.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.9.9, update to a version higher than 1.9.9 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the do shortcode() function until a patch is available.
