La vulnerabilidad de control inadecuado de generación de código ('Inyección de código') en Sunjianle permite la inyección de código. Este problema afecta a ajax-extend: desde n/a hasta 1.0.

The ajax-extend plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 via the ajax_operation function. This is due to plugin not properly restricting user input to call_user_func(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server.
