Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-13792, published on 2025-02-20, is an arbitrary shortcode execution vulnerability (CWE-94) in the WooCommerce Food - Restaurant Menu & Food ordering plugin for WordPress. It affects all versions up to and including 3.3.2. The issue arises because the plugin allows execution of an action that fails to properly validate a value prior to invoking the do_shortcode function, enabling arbitrary shortcode execution. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low attack complexity, requiring no privileges or user interaction. Exploitation allows attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes on the targeted WordPress site, potentially resulting in low-level impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

V1.3.1
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.
Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.
Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

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

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.
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.
