- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2022-06-06 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- Unknown amtyThumb: 4.2.0 only

## Description

The amtyThumb WordPress plugin through 4.2.0 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement via its shortcode, leading to an SQL injection and is exploitable by any authenticated user (and not just Author+ like the original advisory mention) due to the fact that they can execute shortcodes via an AJAX action
