What is CVE-2024-12333?

The Woodmart theme for WordPress contains a security vulnerability that permits arbitrary shortcode execution across all versions up to and including 8.0.3. The issue arises from the theme's handling of the woodmart_instagram_ajax_query AJAX action, where it fails to adequately validate input before processing do_shortcode. This oversight allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes, potentially compromising site integrity and functionality.

Affected Version(s)

Woodmart * <= 8.0.3
