Descriptions

The Contest Gallery Pro WordPress plugin before 19.1.5 does not escape the wp_user_id GET parameter before concatenating it to an SQL query in management-show-user.php. This may allow malicious users with at administrator privileges (i.e. on multisite WordPress configurations) to leak sensitive information from the site's database.

El complemento Contest Gallery Pro de WordPress anterior a 19.1.5 no escapa del parámetro GET wp_user_id antes de concatenarlo a una consulta SQL en management-show-user.php. Esto puede permitir que usuarios malintencionados con privilegios de administrador (es decir, en configuraciones de WordPress multisitio) 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, 19.1.4.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied wp_user_id parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. 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.
