Deeper analysis
The Email Subscribers by Icegram Express plugin for WordPress contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the run function of the IG_ES_Subscribers_Query class. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters and missing prepared-statement handling in the existing query construction, affecting all versions through 5.7.14. Successful exploitation allows direct manipulation of database queries.
