Descriptions

The Event Monster WordPress plugin before 1.2.0 does not validate and escape some parameters before using them in SQL statements, which could lead to SQL Injection exploitable by high privilege users

El complemento Event Monster de WordPress anterior a 1.2.0 no valida ni escapa algunos parámetros antes de usarlos en sentencias SQL, lo que podría conducir a una inyección SQL explotable por usuarios con altos privilegios.

The Event Monster plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘id’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.2.0 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 attackers, with administrator-level privileges or higher, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
