Description

WordPress Podlove Podcast Publisher plugin before 3.5.6 is susceptible to SQL injection. The Social & Donations module, not activated by default, adds the REST route /services/contributor/(?P[\d]+) and takes id and category parameters as arguments. Both parameters can be exploited, thereby potentially enabling an attacker to obtain sensitive information, modify data, and/or execute unauthorized administrative operations.
