Descriptions

The Web Directory Free WordPress plugin before 1.7.0 does not 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 with different techniques like UNION, Time-Based and Error-Based.

El complemento Web Directory Free de WordPress anterior a 1.7.0 no sanitiza ni escapa 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 SQL con diferentes técnicas como UNION, basado en tiempo y basado en errores.

The Web Directory Free plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.9 due to insufficient escaping on a 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.
