Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Timeline Designer plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4

Description The issue is related to SQL Injection via the s 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, 1.4, consider disabling the s parameter in the affected API endpoint until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive database information to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the s 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.
