WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

CatFolders – Tame Your WordPress Media Library by Category < 2.5.3 - Authenticated (Author+) SQL Injection via CSV Import

Description

The CatFolders – Tame Your WordPress Media Library by Category plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the CSV Import contents in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.2 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
