DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Tweet old post plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed via the "cat" parameter to wp-admin/admin.php (when
"page" is set to "ExcludePosts" and "setFilter" is set to "Filter")
is not properly sanitised in
wp-content/plugins/tweet-old-post/top-excludepost.php before being
used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires the "Contributor" role.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.2.5. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the SVN repository.
