Summary

A vulnerability exists in the Web Directory Free WordPress plugin prior to version 1.7.0, where an insufficient sanitization process allows for the exploitation of SQL commands through an AJAX action that is accessible to unauthenticated users. This weakness enables attackers to perform various SQL injection techniques such as UNION, Time-Based, and Error-Based attacks. The lack of proper escaping of parameters when constructing SQL statements poses a significant risk, potentially compromising database integrity and exposing sensitive information.

Affected Version(s)

Web Directory Free 0 < 1.7.0

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
