Vulnerability Overview

SQL injection vulnerability in mycategoryorder.php in the My Category Order plugin 2.8.7 and earlier for WordPress allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the parentID parameter in an act_OrderCategories action to wp-admin/post-new.php.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.0.1, 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.
