Descriptions

The HTML5 Video Player WordPress plugin before 2.5.27 does not sanitize and escape a parameter from a REST route before using it in a SQL statement, allowing unauthenticated users to perform SQL injection attacks

El complemento HTML5 Video Player de WordPress anterior a 2.5.27 no sanitiza ni escapa un parámetro de una ruta REST antes de usarlo en una declaración SQL, lo que permite a usuarios no autenticados realizar ataques de inyección SQL.

The HTML5 Video Player – Best WordPress Video Player Plugin and Block plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.26 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.
