Descriptions
The Hide My WP WordPress plugin before 6.2.9 does not properly sanitize and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement via an AJAX action available to unauthenticated users, leading to a SQL injection.
The Hide My WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via an unknown parameter in versions up to, but not including, 6.2.9 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 attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
WordPress Hide My WP plugin versions 6.2.9 and below suffer from an unauthenticated remote SQL injection vulnerability.
