Description

SQL injection vulnerability in Spider Event Calendar 1.4.9 for WordPress allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the cat_id parameter in a spiderbigcalendar_month action to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
