Descriptions

Auth. SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerability in WP-TopBar <= 5.36 versions.

Vulnerabilidad de inyección SQL (SQLi) autenticada en versiones WP-TopBar &lt;= 5.36.

The WP-TopBar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to blind SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 5.36 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 or higher to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Auth. SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerability in WP-TopBar <= 5.36 versions.
