Description

The Donations WordPress plugin through 1.8 does not sanitise and escape the nd_donations_id parameter before using it in a SQL statement via the nd_donations_single_cause_form_validate_fields_php_function AJAX action (available to unauthenticated users), leading to an unauthenticated 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.
