CVE-2023-2188
Colibri Page Builder <= 1.0.227 - Authenticated (Administrator+) SQL Injection via post_id
The Colibri Page Builder for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ‘post_id’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.0.227 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 administrator-level privileges to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
