## Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Infility Global WordPress plugin due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of the 'order' and 'orderby' parameters within the 'control-data' admin page. The plugin appends these parameters directly to SQL queries executed via $wpdb->get_results() without using prepared statements. An authenticated attacker with at least Subscriber-level privileges can exploit this via a crafted GET request to /wp-admin/admin.php. This can be used to perform time-based blind SQL injection or UNION-based attacks to exfiltrate arbitrary data from the WordPress database. The issue is fixed in version 2.15.19.
