Details from the advisory
The WP Inventory Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via 'sort_order' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This can be exploited by a Contributor via the [wpinventory_categories] shortcode embedded in a draft post rendered through preview, without requiring the post to be published.

Details from the advisory
The WP Inventory Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'where' shortcode attribute of the [wpinventory] shortcode in versions up to, and including, 2.5.1. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the WPIMItem::get_all() function — parse_custom_where() only performs html_entity_decode(), strips semicolons, and does field-label name replacements, without using $wpdb->prepare() or a whitelist. The resulting string is concatenated into a raw SELECT statement that is executed via $wpdb->get_results(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
