CVE-2022-4163

This may allow malicious users with at least author privilege to leak sensitive information from the site's database.

MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 0.85%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.85%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The Contest Gallery WordPress plugin before 19.1.5.1, Contest Gallery Pro WordPress plugin before 19.1.5.1 do not escape the cg_deactivate and cg_activate POST parameters before concatenating it to an SQL query in 2_deactivate.php and 4_activate.php, respectively. This may allow malicious users with at least author privilege to leak sensitive information from the site's database.
