< 7.0.3CVE-2018-12636Vulnerability Overview
The iThemes Security (better-wp-security) plugin before 7.0.3 for WordPress allows SQL Injection (by attackers with Admin privileges) via the logs page.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 7.0.3, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
