Description
The Strong Testimonials plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.16. This is due to the software allowing users to submit a testimonial in which a value is not properly validated or sanitized prior to being passed to a do_shortcode call. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes if an administrator previews or publishes a crafted testimonial.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Strong Testimonials plugin for WordPress (up to version 3.2.16) and allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. This happens because the plugin does not properly validate or sanitize user-submitted testimonial values before passing them to a do_shortcode function. If an administrator previews or publishes a crafted testimonial containing malicious shortcode, the arbitrary shortcode will be executed.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary shortcodes when an administrator previews or publishes a malicious testimonial. This could lead to limited impact such as low integrity issues within the WordPress site, potentially allowing attackers to manipulate content or perform actions via shortcode execution. However, it does not directly impact confidentiality or availability.
