Descriptions

The WP-Advanced-Search WordPress plugin before 3.3.9.2 does not sanitize and escape the t parameter before using it in a SQL statement, allowing unauthenticated users to perform SQL injection attacks

El complemento WP-Advanced-Search para WordPress anterior a la versión 3.3.9.2 no desinfecta ni escapa el parámetro t antes de usarlo en una declaración SQL, lo que permite que usuarios no autenticados realicen ataques de inyección SQL.

The WordPress WP-Advanced-Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.9 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.
