Descriptions

The Article Analytics WordPress plugin 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 vulnerability.

El complemento Article Analytics de WordPress 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 genera una vulnerabilidad de inyección SQL.

The Article analytics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'p' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 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.
