Summary

The WP Coder plugin for WordPress, which allows users to add custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code, has a serious security vulnerability related to time-based SQL Injection. This occurs through the 'id' parameter in versions up to and including 2.5.3. Due to inadequate parameter escaping and a lack of proper SQL query preparation, authenticated attackers with administrative privileges can exploit this flaw. By appending additional SQL commands to existing queries, they can potentially retrieve sensitive information stored in the database, thereby posing significant risks to web applications that utilize this plugin.
