Summary

The Country State City Dropdown CF7 plugin for WordPress is exposed to an SQL Injection vulnerability, allowing attackers to exploit the 'cnt' and 'sid' parameters due to inadequate escaping of user-supplied input and insufficient preparation in the SQL query. This vulnerability enables unauthorized users to inject additional SQL commands into existing queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access and extraction of sensitive database information. It is crucial for users of the affected plugin version to update to the latest version to mitigate this security risk.

Affected Version(s)

Country State City Dropdown CF7 * <= 2.7.2
