## 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 wpfb_find_reviews AJAX action. Specifically, the handler reads the 'curselrevs' POST parameter raw without sanitization or type casting, then concatenates array elements directly into a SQL 'WHERE id IN' clause. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level permissions or higher can exploit this to append malicious SQL queries and extract sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 12.6.8.
