WP Crowdfunding executes stored reward metadata as SQL on campaign views
WP Crowdfunding through 2.2.1 insufficiently escapes wpneo_reward post metadata and fails to prepare the resulting SQL safely. A Shop Manager or higher-privileged user can store malicious metadata through POST or PUT requests to /wp-json/wc/v3/products/{id}. Subsequent public campaign views that render the rewards sidebar execute the injected SQL, allowing sensitive database information to be extracted.

Technical description
The WP Crowdfunding plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via 'wpneo_reward' Post Meta in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with shop manager-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This is a second-order injection: a Shop Manager writes the malicious payload once via the WooCommerce REST products endpoint (POST/PUT /wp-json/wc/v3/products/{id}), and the injected query executes on every subsequent public page view that renders the campaign rewards sidebar.
