## Technical details

The plugin fails to properly escape and prepare the 'order' parameter in SQL queries, allowing authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL. The vulnerability is triggered when specific filter parameters (linked_posts, created_after, created_before, missing_fields, post_id, type values, or exclude_type) are present in the request. An attacker with author-level permissions can read sensitive database contents through UNION-based or time-based SQL injection techniques.
