Description

The Simple URLs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via several AJAX actions in versions up to, and including, 114 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
