CWE
  • CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Summary
The Inpersttion For Theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 via the theme_section_shortcode() function. This is due to the plugin not restricting what functions can be called. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to execute code on the server which is limited to arbitrary functions without any user supplied parameters.
