What is CVE-2024-9061?
CVE-2024-9061 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in themehunk WP Popup Builder – Popup Forms and Marketing Lead Generation, published on 16 Oct 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The The WP Popup Builder – Popup Forms and Marketing Lead Generation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution via the wp_ajax_nopriv_shortcode_Api_Add AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.5. This is 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. NOTE: This vulnerability was partially fixed in version 1.3.5 with a nonce check, which effectively prevented access to the affected function. However, version 1.3.6 incorporates the correct authorization check to prevent unauthorized access.
