Description

WordPress is prone to an SQL injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in an SQL query. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation. WordPress version 1.5.2 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Update to WordPress version 2.0 or latest
