Improper Input Validation in Demon Image Annotation Plugin for WordPress

CVE-2022-4171

What is CVE-2022-4171?

The Demon Image Annotation Plugin for WordPress suffers from an improper input validation vulnerability in versions up to and including 5.0. This flaw arises because the plugin fails to validate the number of characters allowed during an annotation, notwithstanding the existence of a setting intended to impose character limitations. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can bypass these restrictions, allowing them to input a greater number of characters than the configuration permits. This could lead to potential exploitation of the system or unauthorized data entry, raising significant security concerns for users.
