Technical details
The plugin fails to sanitize user input during the unauthenticated booking flow before passing it to do_shortcode in the render_customer_dashboard() function. An attacker plants a malicious shortcode payload in the customer name field during booking, which is stored unsanitized and then executed by WordPress's shortcode parser when the Customer Cabinet block renders the name field. This results in arbitrary shortcode execution without authentication required.
