Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Quick Post Duplicator for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.0

Description The issue is related to SQL Injection via the post id parameter due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries, which can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to protected information and execute arbitrary SQL code by sending specially crafted SQL queries.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.0, consider disabling the post id parameter until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the SQL query functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the post id parameter in existing queries until the issue is resolved.
