What is CVE-2024-8436?

The WP Easy Gallery plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows authenticated users to exploit SQL Injection via the 'edit_imageId' and 'edit_imageDelete' parameters.

As a result, attackers with at least subscriber-level access can inject additional SQL queries, enabling them to access and extract sensitive information from the database, potentially compromising the integrity and confidentiality of stored data.
