Descriptions

The NEX-Forms WordPress plugin before 8.4 does not properly escape the `table` parameter, which is populated with user input, before concatenating it to an SQL query.

The NEX-Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 8.3.3 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 administrator-level privileges to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
