Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-5533)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via the cpd_keep_month parameter to wp-admin/options-general.php. NOTE: this can be leveraged using CSRF to allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.
