CVE-2024-13499Network attack vector

Unauthenticated shortcode execution via unchecked input

Published Jan 22, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Code injection in SWEET CODE CHEF SL GamiPress 7.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary WordPress shortcodes. The gamipress_do_shortcode() function passes an attacker-controlled value to do_shortcode() without validating the permitted shortcode content. No authentication or user interaction is required, while the resulting effect depends on the shortcode handlers registered on the affected site.
