CVE-2026-80440 Details
Description
The Hustle WordPress plugin before 7.8.14.2 does not prevent shortcodes in submitted form values from being executed when it substitutes those values into the message it returns after submission, because the guard it applies can be defeated by nesting, allowing unauthenticated users to run any shortcode registered on the site.
A vulnerability in the Hustle WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 7.8.14.2, allows unauthenticated users to execute any registered shortcode on the site. This issue arises because the plugin fails to properly sanitize shortcode-containing form values before inserting them into the success message displayed after form submission. Although the plugin attempts to apply a guard, it can be bypassed through nesting, enabling the execution of shortcodes.
Users are advised to update the Hustle WordPress plugin to version 7.8.14.2 or later.
