WordPress GD Star Rating plugin <= 1.9.10 SQL Injection Vulnerability

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in the 'ex' and 'us' parameters of the 'export.php' script. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary SQL commands in the application's database, caused by the use of the 'sprintf()' function with user-supplied input in the 'export_users()' method of the 'GDSRExport' class. This can be exploited to bypass authentication and gain access to the application.

Mitigation:

Update to version 1.9.11 or later.
