Vulnerability in wordpress plugin Event Expresso Free v3.1.37.11.L, The function edit_event_category does not sanitize user-supplied input via the $id parameter before passing it into an SQL statement.
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.
