Summary

The Code Engine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to and including 0.3.5 via the 'code-engine' shortcode. This is due to the plugin not restricting access to the code injecting functionality, allowing authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to execute code on the server.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with low privileges (Contributor) can take over the server, steal data, install malware, or fully compromise the WordPress site.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Code Engine plugin to the latest available version. If no update is available, temporarily disable or remove the plugin.
