Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FV Flowplayer Video Player plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.5.46.7212

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to perform time-based SQL Injection via the exclude parameter due to insufficient escaping on user-supplied parameters and lack of sufficient preparation on existing SQL queries. 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, 7.5.46.7212, consider disabling the exclude 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 exclude parameter in queries until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
