Summary

The Search Terms Tagging plugin for WordPress, up to version 1.535, is susceptible to SQL injection due to improper handling of the 'count' parameter in the 'pk_stt2_db_get_popular_terms' function, which can be exploited through Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. This vulnerability enables attackers to manipulate SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access to and modification of the database content. Remediation includes updating to a patched version of the plugin and implementing security measures to prevent CSRF exploits.
