Descriptions

The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the plugin's shortcode(s) in all versions up to, and including, 3.15 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 contributor access or higher, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

El complemento Media Library Assistant para WordPress es vulnerable a la inyección SQL a través de los códigos cortos del complemento en todas las versiones hasta la 3.15 incluida debido a un escape insuficiente en el parámetro proporcionado por el usuario y a la falta de preparación suficiente en la consulta SQL existente. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de colaborador o superior, agreguen consultas SQL adicionales a consultas ya existentes que pueden usarse para extraer información confidencial de la base de datos.
