AI-Generated

The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress prior to version 1.5.6 is vulnerable to SQL injection due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of a parameter in SQL statements, which can be exploited by unauthenticated users if a non-default search field type is configured. This vulnerability could allow attackers to manipulate the database, potentially leading to data exposure or corruption. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate the risk.
