CVE-2022-1683
Last modified
CVE-2022-1683 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The amtyThumb WordPress plugin through 4.2.0 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement via its shortcode, leading to an SQL injection and is exploitable by any authenticated user (and not just Author+ like the original advisory mention) due to the fact that they can execute shortcodes via an AJAX action. EPSS estimates a 1.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
