Technical details

The WP Review Slider Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection due to insufficient input validation and lack of prepared statements in the 'wprp_load_more_revs' AJAX action. The 'notinstring' parameter is processed via sanitize_text_field(), which fails to prevent SQL injection in unquoted numeric contexts. The value is concatenated directly into an 'AND id NOT IN (...)' SQL clause and executed via $wpdb->get_results() without using $wpdb->prepare() or integer casting. Because the AJAX hook is registered via wp_ajax_nopriv and the required nonce is often exposed via wp_localize_script on the frontend, unauthenticated attackers can perform blind or time-based SQL injection to exfiltrate data from the database. The vulnerability is present in versions up to and including 12.7.2.
