Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wicked Folders WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.8.10

Description The issue arises from the lack of sanitization and escaping of the folder id parameter in a SQL statement within the wicked folders save sort order AJAX action. This action is accessible to any authenticated user, leading to an SQL injection.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.8.10, update to version 2.8.10 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the wicked folders save sort order AJAX action to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the folder id parameter in the affected AJAX endpoint until the issue is resolved.
