WordPress · Poll Maker · CVE-2021-24483
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Poll Maker WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.2.1
**Description**
The issue concerns the `get poll categories()`, `get polls()`, and `get reports()` functions, which did not properly validate the `orderby` parameter before using it in SQL statements. This oversight led to SQL injection issues in the admin dashboard.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 3.2.1, update to version 3.2.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `get poll categories()`, `get polls()`, and `get reports()` functions until a patch is applied. Avoid using the `orderby` parameter in the affected functions until the issue is resolved.
