Descriptions

The User Activity Log WordPress plugin before 1.6.3 does not properly sanitise and escape the `txtsearch` parameter before using it in a SQL statement in some admin pages, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by high privilege users such as admin.

The User Activity Log plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the ‘txtsearch’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.6.2 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 permissions to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
