WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in
PHP and paired with a MariaDB database. Due to improper sanitization in
WP_Query, there can be cases where SQL injection is possible through
plugins or themes that use it in a certain way. This has been patched in
WordPress version 5.8.3. Older affected versions are also fixed via
security release, that go back till 3.7.37. We strongly recommend that you
keep auto-updates enabled. There are no known workarounds for this
vulnerability.
