What the vulnerability does
01Description
The GSpeech TTS – WordPress Text To Speech Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'field' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.17.13 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.
