WordPress security company Wordfence recently published an advisory stating that the plugin is vulnerable to SQL Injection when using the ‘sorting’ parameter in versions 2.1.3 to 2.8.2. This vulnerability is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of proper preparation on the SQL query.
Attackers without authentication can take advantage of this problem to add extra SQL queries to existing ones and access important data from the database.
The issue only affects users who have enabled the “Enable custom table for usermeta” option in the plugin settings.
A fix for the flaw was released by the plugin developers on February 19, after a responsible disclosure on January 30, 2024.
