Neutralización incorrecta de elementos especiales utilizados en una vulnerabilidad de comando SQL ('inyección SQL') en QuantumCloud AI ChatBot. Este problema afecta a AI ChatBot: desde n/a hasta 4.7.8.

The AI ChatBot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the orderby parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.8 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for administrators to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
