DESCRIPTION:
Miroslav Stampar has discovered two vulnerabilities in the KNR Author
List plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people
to conduct SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed via the "listItem[]" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/knr-author-list-widget/knrAuthorListCustomSortSave.php
is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can
be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL
code.

2) Input passed as the "listItem" array keys to
wp-content/plugins/knr-author-list-widget/knrAuthorListCustomSortSave.php
is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can
be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL
code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
