Descriptions

The Easy Digital Downloads WordPress Plugin, versions 3.1.0.2 & 3.1.0.3, is affected by an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the 's' parameter of its 'edd_download_search' action.

The Easy Digital Downloads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions before 3.1.0.4 via the 's' parameter used in the 'edd_download_search' AJAX action. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
