Technical details

An unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the wpDataTables plugin for WordPress (versions <= 7.4). The flaw is caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command (CWE-89) within the plugin's logic. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted network requests to the affected site. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to bypass authentication, extract sensitive data from the database, or potentially modify database records. The issue is resolved in version 7.4.1.
