This is due to the plugin adding the filter add_filter('comment_text', 'do_shortcode'); which will run all shortcodes in comments. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","score":7.3},"cwes":["CWE-94"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/simple-spoiler/trunk/simple-spoiler.php#L108","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3151179%40simple-spoiler&new=3151179%40simple-spoiler&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/8ffc76d8-b841-4c26-bbc6-1f96664efe36?source=cve"],"products":["webliberty:simple_spoiler"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:54:38.012257375+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-8479","score":0.00565,"percentile":0.4694,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
