Descriptions

The IWS WordPress plugin through 1.0 does not properly escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement via an AJAX action available to unauthenticated users, leading to an unauthenticated SQL injection.

El complemento IWS de WordPress hasta la versión 1.0 no escapa correctamente un parámetro antes de usarlo en una declaración SQL a través de una acción AJAX disponible para usuarios no autenticados, lo que lleva a una inyección de SQL no autenticado.

The IWS - Geo Form Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via an unknown parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated-level attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
