HTTP: WordPress Media Library Categories Plugin termid Parameter SQL Injection
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the WordPress Media Library Categories Plugin. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue by manipulating the SQL query logic to carry out unauthorized actions on the underlying database.
Extended Description
The Media Library Categories plug-in 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.
