This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 6.4.8 of the plugin. The issue exists in the 'search' parameter functionality (NVD CVE).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as SQL Injection (CWE-89) due to insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters and inadequate preparation of SQL queries.

Impact
