AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access where possible and monitor for plugin updates from rtcamp. Avoid using the vulnerable rtmedia_gallery shortcode with untrusted input. Follow vendor channels for patch releases and apply updates promptly once available.

Description

The rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to blind SQL Injection via the rtmedia_gallery shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.18 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
