Deeper analysis
The Pricing Table WordPress plugin before version 3.6.1 contains an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) because it does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied POST data before interpolating it into an SQL statement executed through an AJAX action. The flaw affects any site running the vulnerable plugin and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can invoke the exposed AJAX endpoint to inject arbitrary SQL, potentially reading or modifying database contents and achieving full control over the affected WordPress installation, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
The referenced WPScan advisory identifies the issue in versions prior to 3.6.1 and indicates that updating to a fixed release eliminates the vulnerable code path.
