Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Beautiful taxonomy filters plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.4.3

Description The issue is related to SQL Injection via the selects[0][term] parameter due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This allows unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries, which can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.4.3, consider disabling the selects[0][term] parameter until a patch is available to prevent SQL Injection attacks. Restrict access to sensitive database information to minimize the risk of exploitation. Update to a version that includes a fix for this issue once it becomes available.
