Technical details
The Aman Views for WPForms (views-for-wpforms-lite) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Blind SQL Injection due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command. The vulnerability exists in versions up to and including 3.4.6. An attacker with low-level privileges (Subscriber or higher) can send specially crafted network requests to trigger the injection. Because it is a blind injection, the attacker can infer data from the database by observing differences in server responses or timing. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, including user credentials or site configuration details. Users are advised to update to a version higher than 3.4.6 if available.
