Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wp photo text slider 50 plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 8.0

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level and above permissions to perform SQL Injection via the plugin's shortcode due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This enables attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries, potentially extracting sensitive information from the database.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 8.0, update to a version that addresses the SQL Injection issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's shortcode for users with subscriber-level and above permissions until a patch is available.
