Technical details

The Dokan Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL injection due to insufficient escaping of the 'orderby' parameter and a lack of proper preparation in the existing SQL query. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to append malicious SQL commands to legitimate queries. By leveraging time-based techniques, an attacker can extract sensitive information from the database. The issue affects all versions up to and including 5.0.4. Users are advised to update to a patched version if available.
