Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5695)

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 order or sort parameter to the wpjb-job or wpjb-alerts module, with a request to wp-admin/admin.php. 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.
