Summary
The rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress plugin is vulnerable to time-based SQL injection via the order_by parameter in all versions up to and including 4.6.18 due to insufficient escaping and lack of proper SQL query preparation.

Immediately update the rtMedia plugin to a version newer than 4.6.18 once a patch is released. Until then, restrict subscriber account access and monitor SQL queries for suspicious activity.

Original NVD description (English source)
The rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the order_by parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.18 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 subscriber access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
