Description

In the Location Manager WordPress plugin before 2.1.0.10, the AJAX action gd_popular_location_list did not properly sanitise or validate some of its POST parameters, which are then used in a SQL statement, leading to unauthenticated SQL Injection issues.

• 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.
