Description

WordPress Core, in versions up to 6.0.2, is vulnerable to SQL Injection that can be exploited by authenticated users via the LIMIT parameter passed through the get_bookmarks function. This can be exploited on default WordPress installations by users with high-level privileges, such as an editor or administrator, and it may be possible for this to be exploited by lower-privileged users if a plugin/theme passes an unescaped user supplied LIMIT value from those level users to the get_bookmarks function.
