Descriptions

The WP Editor WordPress plugin before 1.2.7 did not sanitise or validate its setting fields leading to an authenticated (admin+) blind SQL injection issue via an arbitrary parameter when making a request to save the settings.

El complemento de WordPress WP Editor anterior a 1.2.7 no sanitizó ni validó sus campos de configuración, lo que provocó un problema de inyección ciega de SQL autenticado (admin+) a través de un parámetro arbitrario al realizar una solicitud para guardar la configuración.

The WP Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to blind SQL Injection via the setting fields in versions up to, and including, 1.2.6.3 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated admin+ attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
