Link Whisper Free: Blind SQL injection
Attacker-controlled input reaches a database query without sufficient SQL neutralization, allowing query semantics to change and information to be inferred through indirect responses. The CNA vector requires high privileges, with no victim interaction, high confidentiality impact and limited availability impact. The export does not name the minimum WordPress role, endpoint, parameter, query function or blind-inference channel. Arbitrary database writes or server-side code execution are not established. Affected versions: <= 0.9.7. The authoritative export identifies 0.9.8 as fixed for this CVE.
