Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Kunal Sharma, Daniel Krohmer.
The Contest Gallery Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 19.1.4.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied wp_user_id parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level privileges or higher to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
