WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Pods < 3.3.9.1 - Author+ RCE via Shortcode Display Callback
Description
The plugin does not correctly compare a display callback against its list of blocked functions, allowing users with the author role and above to execute arbitrary code on the server. Only sites using the restricted display-callback mode are affected, which is the automatic default on installations whose first Pods version predates 3.1.
