Unauthenticated shortcode execution via missing authorization checks
Published Sep 5, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in INFINITUM FORM Geo Controller 8.6.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute installed shortcodes via AJAX. The ajax__shortcode_cache function processes attacker-supplied shortcode requests without authorization or capability checks. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the resulting exposure is limited to data returned by shortcodes installed on the site.
