Description
The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in version 3.0.11. This is due to a missing capability check on the 'wpext_handle_snippet_update' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to execute code on the server providing an admin has created at least one code snippet.
