Summary

The Rest Routes WordPress plugin through version 5.5.5 does not sanitize and validate a value taken from the URL of one of its public REST routes before using it in a SQL query. This allows unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks.

Risk Assessment

SQL injection attacks can lead to unauthorized database access, data theft, and even full site takeover.

Recommendation

Update the Rest Routes plugin to a version newer than 5.5.5 if available, or apply security patches.
