Researcher Chien Vuong
Description

The QueryWall plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.1.1 due to insufficient escaping on a user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
