Last modified
CVE-2023-2201 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Web Directory Free for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘post_id’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.6.8 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.. EPSS estimates a 0.82% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
