## Technical details

The Ays Pro Popup box plugin for WordPress (versions 6.0.1 and below) is vulnerable to SQL injection due to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (CWE-89). The vulnerability exists in a component accessible to users with Administrator-level privileges. An attacker with these permissions can send specially crafted network requests to execute arbitrary SQL queries against the underlying database. This could lead to the exfiltration of sensitive data or limited impact on service availability. The issue is addressed in version 6.0.2.
