A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in The Hackers Diet Plugin up to 0.9.6b on WordPress. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file ajax_blurb.php of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument user leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 0.9.7b is able to address this issue. The patch is named 7dd8acf7cd8442609840037121074425d363b694. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-243803.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
