The All in One SEO WordPress plugin before 4.1.5.3 is affected by an authenticated SQL injection issue, which was discovered during an internal audit by the Jetpack Scan team, and could grant attackers access to privileged information from the affected site’s database (e.g., usernames and hashed passwords).
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.
