Description

WordPress Plugin Hitasoft FLV Player is prone to an SQL injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query. Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. WordPress Plugin Hitasoft FLV Player version 1.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised or disable the plugin until a fix is available
