WordPress iCopyright(R) Article Tools plugin <= 1.1.4 SQL Injection Vulnerability

The WordPress iCopyright(R) Article Tools plugin version 1.1.4 is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. This is due to the lack of proper sanitization of user-supplied input in the 'id' parameter of the 'icopyright_xml.php' script. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request with malicious SQL statements to the vulnerable script. This can allow the attacker to gain access to sensitive information from the database.

Mitigation:

Ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries.
