Descriptions

The WordPress Database Administrator WordPress plugin through 1.0.3 does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement via an AJAX action available to unauthenticated users, leading to a SQL injection.

El complemento WordPress Database Administrator de WordPress hasta la versión 1.0.3 no sanitiza ni escapa adecuadamente un parámetro antes de usarlo en una declaración SQL a través de una acción AJAX disponible para usuarios no autenticados, lo que lleva a una inyección de SQL.

The WordPress Database Administrator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via an AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.0.3 due to insufficient escaping on a user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level and above permissions, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
