Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Short URL WordPress plugin versions 1.6.8 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a SQL injection problem. The Short URL WordPress plugin does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by users with relatively low privilege on the site, like subscribers.

Recommendations For versions 1.6.8 and earlier, update to a version that properly sanitises and escapes parameters used in SQL statements to prevent SQL injection. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting privileges of low-level users, such as subscribers, to minimize the risk of exploitation.
