Summary

The Poll Maker – Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 6.0.7) is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'filterbyauthor' parameter due to insufficient escaping and lack of preparation on the existing SQL query. An authenticated attacker with Administrator-level access and above can append additional SQL queries to extract sensitive information from the database.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with administrator privileges can exfiltrate sensitive data from the WordPress database, including user data, passwords, and other sensitive information.

Recommendation

Update the Poll Maker plugin to a version newer than 6.0.7. Limit the number of administrator accounts and regularly review database logs.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Poll Maker – Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the ‘filterbyauthor’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.7 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
