Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Accredible Certificates & Open Badges plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.9

Description: The issue is related to time-based SQL Injection via the orderby 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 Administrator-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, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the orderby parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
