DESCRIPTION:
Miroslav Stampar has discovered a vulnerability in the WP DS FAQ
plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed via the "id" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/wp-ds-faq/ajax.php (when "action" is set to
"delete_faqbook") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL
queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3.2. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
