CVE-2025-7711Network attack vector

Shortcode execution via unvalidated listing description

Published Nov 17, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Arbitrary shortcode execution in RadiusTheme Classified Listing 5.0.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to invoke shortcodes. The listing-description filter in app/Controllers/Hooks/FilterHooks.php passes user-controlled description content to do_shortcode without restricting allowed shortcode tags. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and the resulting read or write impact depends on the shortcodes registered by WordPress and other installed plugins.
