Animated Number Counters < 3.1 - Editor+ Second-Order SQLi via Counter Order
Description
The plugin does not sanitise or escape a value stored by an Editor-level user before concatenating it into a SQL query that runs when any unauthenticated visitor renders a page containing the counter, leading to second-order SQL injection that can read arbitrary data including password hashes.
