Descriptions

The wpbrutalai WordPress plugin before 2.0.0 does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by admin via CSRF.

The WP Brutal AI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via an unknown parameter in versions before 2.0.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. Additionally it lacks a nonce check on this functionality. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions, as well as unauthenticated attackers able to trick administrators into performing an action such as clicking a link, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

WordPress WP Brutal AI plugin versions prior to 2.0.0 suffer from cross site request forgery and remote SQL injection vulnerabilities.
