Summary

The Count Per Day plugin for WordPress prior to version 3.4.1 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the counter-options.php file. This issue allows remote authenticated administrators to send specially crafted requests to the wp-admin/options-general.php endpoint, specifically through the cpd_keep_month parameter. Exploitations can lead to arbitrary SQL command execution, potentially compromising the integrity of the database. Moreover, this vulnerability can be exploited in conjunction with CSRF attacks, allowing remote attackers to execute malicious SQL commands under certain conditions.
