The Users Ultra WordPress plugin through 3.1.0 fails to properly sanitize and escape the data_target parameter before it is being interpolated in an SQL statement and then executed via the rating_vote AJAX action (available to both unauthenticated and authenticated users), leading to an SQL Injection.
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.
