Descriptions

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Tribulant Slideshow Gallery LITE.This issue affects Slideshow Gallery LITE: from n/a through 1.7.6.

La neutralización incorrecta de elementos especiales utilizados en una vulnerabilidad de comando SQL ("Inyección SQL") en Tribulant Slideshow Gallery LITE. Este problema afecta a Slideshow Gallery LITE: desde n/a hasta 1.7.6.

The Slideshow Gallery LITE plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.7.6 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level capabilities to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
