## Description

The Contest Gallery WordPress plugin before 19.1.5.1, Contest Gallery Pro WordPress plugin before 19.1.5.1 do not escape the wp_user_id GET parameter before concatenating it to an SQL query in management-show-user.php. This may allow malicious users with administrator privileges (i.e. on multisite WordPress configurations) to leak sensitive information from the site's database.
