  description: |
    WordPress Nirweb support plugin before 2.8.2 contains a SQL injection vulnerability. The plugin does not sanitize and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement via an AJAX action. An attacker can possibly obtain sensitive information from a database, modify data, and/or execute unauthorized administrative operations in the context of the affected site.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data leakage, or data manipulation.
