Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Alt Text AI – Automatically generate image alt text for SEO and accessibility plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.9

Description The issue is related to generic SQL Injection via the last 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 Subscriber-level access and above, 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, 1.4.9, consider disabling the last post id parameter until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the database to minimize the risk of sensitive information extraction. Avoid using the last post id parameter in existing queries until the issue is resolved.
