Descriptions

The WP Statistics WordPress plugin before 13.2.9 does not escape a parameter, which could allow authenticated users to perform SQL Injection attacks. By default, the affected feature is available to users with the manage_options capability (admin+), however the plugin has a settings to allow low privilege users to access it as well.

Las versiones del complemento WP Statistics de WordPress anteriores a la 13.2.9 no escapan uno de los parámetros, lo que podría permitir a usuarios autenticados realizar ataques de inyección SQL. De forma predeterminada, la función afectada está disponible para los usuarios con manage_options (admin+), sin embargo, el complemento tiene una configuración para permitir que los usuarios con privilegios bajos también accedan a ella.

The WP Statistics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the $search_engine value in versions up to, and including, 13.2.8 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 administrative privileges to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
