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 cg option id POST parameter before it is concatenated to an SQL query in the export-votes-all.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 export-votes-all.php file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
