What is CVE-2023-0579?

The YARPP WordPress plugin prior to version 5.30.3 suffers from a vulnerability due to the lack of validation and escaping of certain shortcode attributes in SQL statements. This oversight allows authenticated users, including those with low-level access like subscribers, to execute SQL Injection attacks. Such an attack could lead to unauthorized database manipulation and expose sensitive information, making it critical to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
