Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Infility Global versions prior to 2.15.17

Description The Infility Global plugin for WordPress contains a flaw allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to extract sensitive information from the database. This occurs because the show control data::post list() function, which is registered as an admin menu page with 'read' capability, fails to sufficiently escape user-supplied parameters or prepare the SQL query. Attackers can append additional SQL queries via the 'orderby' and 'order' parameters.

Recommendations Update the plugin to a version later than 2.15.16. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the show control data::post list() function or avoid using the orderby and order parameters until the update is applied.
