Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Ayush Srivastava.
The Coder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in versions 4.0 through 4.5.1. This is due to insufficient validation of user supplied input before it is executed. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access and above, to execute arbitrary code on the server.
