Researcher Nguyen Duy Quoc Khanh

Description

The Chaty plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 3.0.2 due to insufficient escaping on the $chaty_leads parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level privileges or higher, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
