Summary
The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is affected in all versions up to and including 1.6.0. Insufficient escaping of the 'idfield' parameter and a SQL query that is not properly prepared let an attacker add extra SQL queries to existing ones (CWE-89). An unauthenticated remote attacker can extract sensitive information from the database.

Description from the CNA
The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'idfield' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
