Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This WordPress plugin flaw lets an unauthenticated visitor make the site run arbitrary WordPress shortcodes through insufficient validation before do_shortcode. Business impact depends on what shortcodes exist on the site, but the issue is remotely reachable and requires no login.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation for public WordPress sites using this plugin, especially e-commerce or ordering sites. Treat as high priority, but not confirmed exploited from the provided sources.
Technical view
CVE-2024-13792 affects WooCommerce Food - Restaurant Menu & Food ordering versions up to 3.3.2. An unauthenticated action improperly validates an ids value before passing data to do_shortcode, enabling arbitrary shortcode execution. CVSS 3.1 is 7.3, with network attack vector, low complexity, and no privileges or user interaction required.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites running the Ex-Themes WooCommerce Food - Restaurant Menu & Food ordering plugin at version 3.3.2 or older. The bundle does not identify other affected products.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. Risk remains meaningful because exploitation is unauthenticated over the network and impact varies with available site shortcodes.
Researcher notes
The description says all versions through 3.3.2 are vulnerable, while affected version metadata is sparse. The bundle names no fixed version and no concrete patch. Validate against vendor and Wordfence records before closing remediation.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the WooCommerce Food - Restaurant Menu & Food ordering plugin.
- If version 3.3.2 or older is present, check Ex-Themes/CodeCanyon and Wordfence for vendor guidance.
- Disable or remove the plugin where business use is not required until guidance is confirmed.
- Review site-specific shortcode exposure and remove unnecessary sensitive shortcodes.
Validation and detection
- Confirm plugin name and version from WordPress admin, filesystem, or asset inventory.
- Review the code path handling ids before do_shortcode for authorization and input validation.
- Check web logs for unusual unauthenticated requests to plugin-related endpoints.
- Verify whether compensating controls block unauthenticated access to vulnerable actions.

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
