Technical details

The plugin concatenates unsanitized block and shortcode attributes (specifically the 'recipeId' parameter) directly into SQL queries without proper sanitization or type casting. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level permissions or above to perform SQL injection attacks. The vulnerability was fixed in version 3.6.4.
