Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the plugin's functionality where possible and monitor for updates from the vendor. Avoid using affected versions in production environments if feasible.

Description

The The Contact Form & SMTP Plugin for WordPress by PirateForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.0. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
