Description

WordPress is prone to an SQL injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in an SQL query. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation. WordPress version 2.1.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Update to WordPress version 2.2 or latest
