Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Block Bad Bots and Stop Bad Bots Crawlers and Spiders and Anti Spam Protection WordPress plugin versions prior to 6.930

Description The issue arises from the improper sanitization and escaping of the fingerprint parameter before its use in a SQL statement via the "stopbadbots grava fingerprint" AJAX action. This action is available to unauthenticated users, leading to a SQL injection.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.930, update to version 6.930 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "stopbadbots grava fingerprint" AJAX action to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the fingerprint parameter in the affected AJAX endpoint until the issue is resolved.
