Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions wpDataTables plugin version 1.5.3 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is achieved via the table id parameter in a get wdtable action to the "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" API endpoint.

Recommendations For wpDataTables plugin version 1.5.3 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.5.3 to resolve the issue.
