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 arises from the failure to escape the wp user id GET parameter before it is concatenated to an SQL query in the management-show-user.php file. This may allow malicious users with administrator privileges, particularly in multisite WordPress configurations, to leak sensitive information from the site's database.

Recommendations For Contest Gallery WordPress plugin versions prior to 19.1.5.1, update to version 19.1.5.1 or later. For Contest Gallery Pro WordPress plugin versions prior to 19.1.5.1, update to version 19.1.5.1 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the management-show-user.php file until a patch is applied. Avoid using the wp user id GET parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
