Descriptions

The SupportCandy WordPress plugin before 3.1.7 does not properly sanitise and escape the agents[] parameter in the set_add_agent_leaves AJAX function before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by high privilege users such as admin.

The SupportCandy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL injection via the 'agents[]' parameter used in the set_add_agent_leaves AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 3.1.6 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
