Technical description

The ArtPlacer Widget WordPress plugin before 2.20.7 does not sanitize and escape the "id" parameter before submitting the query, leading to a SQLI exploitable by editors and above. Note: Due to the lack of CSRF check, the issue could also be exploited via a CSRF against a logged editor (or above)
