Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Contest Gallery WordPress plugin versions prior to 19.1.5.1 Contest Gallery Pro WordPress plugin versions prior to 19.1.5.1

Description The issue allows malicious users with at least author privilege to leak sensitive information from the site's database. This is due to the failure to escape the upload[] POST parameter before concatenating it to an SQL query in the get-data-create-upload-v10.php file.
