What is CVE-2023-1471?

The WP Popup Banners plugin for WordPress is susceptible to SQL Injection attacks through the 'banner_id' parameter in versions up to and including 1.2.5. Due to inadequate input escaping and poor SQL query preparation, authenticated attackers with minimal permissions (e.g., subscribers) can inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability enables them to manipulate existing queries and potentially access sensitive data stored within the database, posing a significant risk to website security.

Affected Version(s)

WP Popup Banners * <= 1.2.5
