Sphider · Spider Event Calendar · CVE-2015-2196
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Spider Event Calendar version 1.4.9
**Description**
A SQL injection issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is achieved by exploiting the `cat id` parameter in a `spiderbigcalendar month` action to the "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" API endpoint.
**Recommendations**
For Spider Event Calendar version 1.4.9, consider restricting access to the `cat id` parameter in the `/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php` API endpoint until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `cat id` parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
