Descriptions

Auth. (subscriber+) SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerability in MainWP MainWP Maintenance Extension plugin <= 4.1.1 versions.

The MainWP Maintenance Extension for WordPress are vulnerable to SQL Injection via an unknown parameter 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 subscriber level privileges or higher, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
