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

when creating posts is not properly sanitised in
wp-content/plugins/ninja-announcements/ninja_annc.php before being
used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires the "Author" role.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2.3. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.3 or later.
