A vulnerability was found in Editorial Calendar Plugin up to 2.6 on WordPress. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function edcal_filter_where of the file edcal.php. The manipulation of the argument edcal_startDate/edcal_endDate leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. Upgrading to version 2.7 is able to address this issue. The patch is named a9277f13781187daee760b4dfd052b1b68e101cc. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-225151.
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.
