Description
The cformsII plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via Delete Entries or Download Entries in versions up to, and including, 14.12.3 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for highly-privileged attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
