The Import feature in the wp-advanced-search plugin 3.3.6 for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated SQL injection via an uploaded .sql file. An attacker can use this to execute SQL commands without any validation.
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.
