Vulnerability Data

The The AI Infographic Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.0. 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.

V1.3.1

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match

prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

A.8.7 Protection against malware none match

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
