Germanized for WooCommerce <= 3.20.5 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The The Germanized for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution via 'account_holder' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.20.5. 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.
