Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence.
The WordPress Pinterest Plugin – Make a Popup, User Profile, Masonry and Gallery Layout plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check and a misconfigured nonce check on the _update_shortcode function in all versions up to and including 1.8.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and above, to update the plugin's shortcodes.
