DESCRIPTION:
Canberk BOLAT has discovered a vulnerability in the Simple:Press
plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "value" parameter (when "page_id", "type",
"forum", and "search" are set) 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 4.3.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Canberk BOLAT, ADEO Security Labs
