Description
The Code Engine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 0.3.3.. This is due to the plugin not restricting access to a PHP Code block. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to execute code on the server.
