Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP SMTP plugin for WordPress versions 1.2 to 1.2.6

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level access and above to perform SQL Injection via the search parameter 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 WP SMTP plugin for WordPress versions 1.2 to 1.2.6, consider restricting access to the search parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. Avoid using the search parameter in affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
