Upgrade the WP Directory Kit plugin to version 1.6.3 or later, where this SQL injection vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigation is required if the plugin is updated.
Description
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin versions before 1.6.3. The plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape a parameter used for ordering results on an admin screen, relying on a keyword deny-list that can be bypassed. This allows users with the custom Listing Admin role or higher to perform SQL injection attacks.
