WordPress wp audio gallery playlist plugin <= 0.12 SQL Injection Vulnerability

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in the 'post_gallery' parameter of the 'playlist.php' script. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary SQL commands in application's database, cause disclosure of sensitive information, modify data and compromise the application.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to construct SQL queries in a way that would allow an attacker to modify the logic of the executed query.
