Summary

The ProfilePress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to and including 4.16.7 due to insufficient input sanitization on the `type` parameter in the form preview functionality. Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above can execute arbitrary shortcodes via the `pp_preview_form` endpoint.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with low privileges can execute arbitrary shortcodes, potentially leading to data exposure, content modification, or other unauthorized actions on the WordPress site.

Recommendation
