Description

The slickquiz plugin through 1.3.7.1 for WordPress allows SQL Injection by Subscriber users, as demonstrated by a /wp-admin/admin.php?page=slickquiz-scores&id= or /wp-admin/admin.php?page=slickquiz-edit&id= or /wp-admin/admin.php?page=slickquiz-preview&id= URI. This makes it possible for Subscriber-level attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
