Descriptions

The Web Directory Free for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘post_id’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.6.7 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 contributor-level privileges to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Web Directory Free para WordPress es vulnerable a la inyección SQL a través del parámetro "post_id" en las versiones hasta la 1.6.7 inclusive, debido a un escape insuficiente del parámetro suministrado por el usuario y a la falta de preparación suficiente de la consulta SQL existente. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados con privilegios de nivel de colaborador añadan consultas SQL adicionales a consultas ya existentes que pueden utilizarse para extraer información confidencial de la base de datos.
