Summary

The Animated Number Counters WordPress plugin before 3.1 does not sanitise or escape a value stored by an Editor-level user before concatenating it into an SQL query (CWE-89). The query runs when any unauthenticated visitor renders a page containing the counter, so an Editor can cause second-order SQL injection that reads arbitrary data, including password hashes. An exploit link is listed in the references.
