WordPress Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
Wordpress has been reported prone to multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities. The issues have been reported to exist in the blog.header.php script. A lack of sufficient sanitization performed on 'cat' and 'order_by' URI parameters, may allow an attacker to inject malicious SQL code and thereby influence legitimate Wordpress SQL queries. Ultimately an attacker may exploit this vulnerability to insert SQL code into Wordpress requests and have the SQL code executed by the underlying database server.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized.
