Technical details

The plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape user input from Contributor-level users before storing it in the database and using it in SQL queries (CWE-89 SQL Injection). A Contributor can craft a malicious list_content parameter value that executes arbitrary SQL once the content is published and viewed by an unauthenticated visitor. The vulnerability requires Contributor-level access to exploit but impacts all site visitors.
