Description

The Simple Ads Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unspecified SQL Injection via the ‘whereClause’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.9.4.116 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Wordfence blocked 12 attacks targeting this vulnerability in the past 24 hours.
