Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Replicate Post plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.0.2

Description The issue allows contributor-level attackers or higher to extract sensitive information from the database due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied post id parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query, making it possible to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries.

Recommendations For WP Replicate Post plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.0.2, update to a version higher than 4.0.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the post id parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
