Hello,

We have recently been notified of the following vulnerabilities in Salient Core and Shortcodes.

Please let me know when a patched version will be available for update. 

Salient Core <= 2.0.7 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Local File Inclusion via Shortcode
The Salient Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.7 via the 'nectar_icon' shortcode 'icon_linea' attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level and above permissions, to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where php file type can be uploaded and included.

Salient Shortcodes <= 1.5.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Local File Inclusion via Shortcode
The Salient Shortcodes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.3 via the 'icon' shortcode 'image' attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level and above permissions, to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where php file type can be uploaded and included.

My Salient core shows it is 2.0.5. Should I update with a new version of Salient? It doesn't show that it needs to be updated. Salient version is 16.1.2.
