Descriptions

The Translate Multilingual sites WordPress plugin before 2.3.3 is vulnerable to an authenticated SQL injection. By adding a new language (via the settings page) containing specific special characters, the backticks in the SQL query can be surpassed and a time-based blind payload can be injected.

El plugin Translate Multilingual sites de WordPress versiones anteriores a 2.3.3, es vulnerable a una inyección SQL autenticada. Al añadir un nuevo idioma (por medio de la página de configuración) que contenga determinados caracteres especiales, pueden sobrepasarse las marcas de la consulta SQL y puede inyectarse una carga útil ciega basada en el tiempo

The Translate Multilingual sites WordPress plugin is vulnerable to an authenticated SQL injection in versions up to, and including, 2.3.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. By adding a new language (via the settings page) containing specific special characters, the backticks in the SQL query can be surpassed. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

WordPress Translatepress Multilingual plugin versions prior to 2.3.3 suffer from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
