## Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress due to insufficient input validation and lack of SQL preparation in the arm_get_directory_members() function. The vulnerability is exposed through the 'order' and 'orderby' parameters of the 'arm_directory_paging_action' AJAX action. Because these parameters are not properly escaped or handled via parameterized queries, an unauthenticated remote attacker can append malicious SQL commands to existing queries. This enables the extraction of sensitive data from the WordPress database. The issue affects all versions of the plugin up to and including 7.3.1.
