Discussion
WordPress GD Star Rating Plugin 'de' Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability
The GD Star Rating plugin for WordPress 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.
GD Star Rating 1.9.10 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
