What the vulnerability does
01Description
The UsersWP – Front-end login form, User Registration, User Profile & Members Directory plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘upload_file_remove’ function and 'htmlvar' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.44 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.
