CVE-2025-2262
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe The Logo Slider – Logo Showcase, Logo Carousel, Logo Gallery and Client Logo Presentation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.3. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Logo Slider WordPress plugin (versions up to 3.7.3) fails to validate user input before passing it to the PHP do_shortcode() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary WordPress shortcodes by supplying crafted input to vulnerable parameters, potentially leading to content injection, data exposure, or further compromise depending on what other shortcodes are available.
