Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-0911 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WordPress Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0911/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0911/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-0911","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0911/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-0911","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8c5m-67fx-9q72"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated subscribers can retrieve arbitrary user metadata, including emails and activation keys, due to missing validation in the user shortcode.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"shortcodes_ultimate","vendor":"getshortcodes"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The WordPress Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate WordPress plugin before 5.12.8 does not validate the user meta to be retrieved via the user shortcode, allowing any authenticated users such as subscriber to retrieve arbitrary user meta (except the user_pass), such as the user email and activation key by default.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Shortcodes Ultimate \u003c 5.12.8 - Subscriber+ User Meta Disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-0911","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SourceCodester Auto Dealer Management System sql injection","id":"CVE-2023-0912"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SourceCodester Online Pizza Ordering System GET Parameter view_prod.php sql injection","id":"CVE-2023-0910"},"products":["WordPress Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate"],"published":"2023-03-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18580","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-22"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Shortcodes Ultimate Plugin \u003c= 5.12.6 is vulnerable to Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-23800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Shortcodes Ultimate Plugin \u003c= 5.12.6 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-25040","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-30"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Shortcodes Ultimate \u003c 5.12.8 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Post Access","id":"CVE-2023-0890","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-20"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Shortcodes Ultimate \u003c= 7.4.0 - Authenticted (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'data-url' Attribute","id":"CVE-2025-5567","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-04"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate","id":"CVE-2024-4821","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-25","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated subscribers can retrieve arbitrary user metadata, including emails and activation keys, due to missing validation in the user shortcode.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0911/"}
