Input validation vulnerability in Social Media Shortcodes 1.3.0

  • Severity: medium-risk
  • Status: Fixed
  • Publication: December 11, 2024

A popular plugin called Social Media Shortcodes for WordPress has a security issue that allows attackers to insert harmful code into web pages. This can happen when a user with a certain level of access uses a specific feature called ‘patreon’. The plugin’s creator has not properly protected against this type of attack, so it is important to update to version 1.3.1 or higher to prevent this from happening.
