WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Advanced Ads < 2.0.13 - Unauthenticated Limited Code Execution

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via the select_one() function. This is due to the endpoint not properly restricting access to the AJAX endpoint or limiting the functions that can be called to safe functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to call arbitrary functions beginning with get_the_ like get_the_excerpt which can make information exposure possible.

Fixed in 2.0.13
