SQL injection in Total Soft Video Gallery 2.1.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read WordPress database data. The plugin inserts attacker-controlled s and orderby parameters into existing SQL queries without sufficient escaping or prepared statements. Administrator-level access is required, and successful exploitation permits appended SQL that extracts sensitive database records.
