Show the technical text from the sources

The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.6 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement through one of its authenticated AJAX actions, which lacks an authorization check, allowing any authenticated user such as a Subscriber to perform SQL injection attacks.
