The WP Contacts Manager WordPress plugin through 2.2.4 fails to properly sanitize user supplied POST data before it is being interpolated in an SQL statement and then executed, leading to an SQL injection vulnerability.
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.
