Description
The Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 5.12.0. This is due to missing nonce validation on the ajax_add_preset() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make preset changes and inject malicious JavaScript via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
