Input passed via the "category" POST parameter to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php (when "action" is set to "displayAnswer") is not properly sanitised in wp-content/plugins/website-faq/website-faq-widget.php before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: No official solution is currently available.
