What the vulnerability does
The Thumbnail carousel slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Thumbnail Carousel Slider versions 1.0.4 and earlier contain a SQL injection vulnerability in a database query. An attacker with high-level privileges (such as an administrator) can craft malicious input to read sensitive data from the database. The vulnerability requires administrative access to exploit and does not allow data modification or system unavailability.
What an attacker can do
Read sensitive data from the site's database if they have admin-level access.
Potential impact on your site
