What the vulnerability does
The AWP Classifieds plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'regions' parameter array keys in versions up to, and including, 4.4.5 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.

AWP Classifieds versions 4.4.5 and earlier contain a SQL injection vulnerability in database query handling. An attacker can craft malicious input to extract sensitive data from the site's database without authentication. This vulnerability requires only network access and no user interaction, making it straightforward to exploit.
