CVE-2023-2448 is an authorization flaw in the UserPro plugin for WordPress caused by a missing capability check in the userpro_shortcode_template function. In affected versions up to and including 5.1.4, the vulnerable function can be reached without proper privilege validation, allowing unauthenticated attackers to trigger arbitrary shortcode execution. Because WordPress shortcodes can expose application functionality and data depending on installed components and configuration, this weakness can be used to access information that should not be available to unauthenticated users. The issue has also been noted as chainable with CVE-2023-2446 to obtain sensitive information through shortcode abuse.
