Descriptions

The Contest Gallery WordPress plugin before 19.1.5.1, Contest Gallery Pro WordPress plugin before 19.1.5.1 do not escape the option_id POST parameter before concatenating it to an SQL query in order-custom-fields-with-and-without-search.php. This may allow malicious users with at least author privilege to leak sensitive information from the site's database.

El complemento de WordPress Contest Gallery anterior a 19.1.5.1 y el complemento de WordPress de Contest Gallery Pro anterior a 19.1.5.1 no escapan del parámetro POST option_id antes de concatenarlo a una consulta SQL en order-custom-fields-with-and- without-search.php. Esto puede permitir que usuarios malintencionados con al menos privilegios de autor filtren información confidencial de la base de datos del sitio.

The Contest Gallery (Pro) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 19.1.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied option_id parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the order-custom-fields-with-and-without-search.php file. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level privileges or higher to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
