Description

The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking WordPress plugin before 2.8.2 does not escape the sccp_id parameter of the ays_sccp_results_export_file AJAX action (available to both unauthenticated and authenticated users) before using it in a SQL statement, leading to an SQL injection.

• 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.
