    CVE-2024-13806 (GCVE-0-2024-13806)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2025-03-01 07:24 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:27

    Title
    Authors List <= 2.0.6 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution
    Summary
    The The Authors List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.6. 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.

    CVE-2024-10952 (GCVE-0-2024-10952)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2024-12-04 02:40 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:05
    VLAI
    Title
    Authors List <= 2.0.4 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution via update_authors_list_ajax
    Summary
    The The Authors List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution via update_authors_list_ajax AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.4. 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.

    Title
    Authors List <= 2.0.6 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution
    Summary
    The The Authors List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.6. 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.
