Description

WordPress Plugin WP Forum Server is prone to multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities 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. WordPress Plugin WP Forum Server version 1.6.5 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Update to plugin version 1.6.6 or latest
