Until a fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access carefully and monitor for suspicious activity related to the Save as PDF Plugin by PDFCrowd. Avoid exposing the vulnerable shortcode attribute to untrusted users.
Description
The Save as PDF Plugin by PDFCrowd for WordPress (versions up to 4.6.1) contains a code injection vulnerability via the pdf_created_callback shortcode attribute. This flaw allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to invoke arbitrary PHP functions or static class methods without proper validation. The vulnerability arises because user-supplied shortcode attributes are copied without sanitization into an options array, encrypted, and later decrypted and executed without capability checks. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive data such as the site's PDFCrowd API key and username, or further server-side compromise.
