Summary

The Oturia Smart Google Code Inserter plugin for WordPress contains an SQL Injection vulnerability due to improper handling of user inputs within the saveGoogleAdWords() function. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to run arbitrary SQL queries on the database, potentially leading to data leakage or manipulation. The issue arises from the lack of prepared statements and unsanitized user inputs, specifically the $_POST['oId'] variable, allowing for malicious SQL commands to be executed in the context of the web server. It is vital for users to update to version 3.5 or later to mitigate this security risk.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
