Social Web Suite vulnerability

What happened

The Social Web Suite WordPress plugin through 4.1.12 does not require its shared secret to be set before accepting requests authorised by it, and does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in an SQL statement, allowing unauthenticated users to perform SQL injection attacks.

Affected versions

Social Web Suite: 0 through 4.1.12 (semver) Fixed: See vendor advisory.
