Description

Section titled “Description”

WordPress WP TripAdvisor Review Slider plugin before 10.8 is susceptible to authenticated SQL injection. The plugin does not properly sanitize and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by users with a role as low as subscriber. This can lead, in turn, to obtaining sensitive information, modifying data, and/or executing unauthorized administrative operations in the context of the affected site.
