Deeper analysis
The Slider & Popup Builder by Depicter plugin for WordPress contains a generic SQL injection vulnerability in the 's' parameter that affects all versions through 3.6.1. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping of user-supplied input combined with the absence of prepared statements in existing database queries, allowing arbitrary SQL to be appended. The issue is tracked as CWE-89 and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit the vulnerability over the network to extract sensitive information from the WordPress database. Successful exploitation requires no user interaction or credentials and can disclose data such as lead records processed by the plugin's LeadsAjaxController and associated repository classes.
The supplied references consist solely of links to the vulnerable source files in the WordPress plugin repository and do not describe patches or mitigation steps. The EPSS score reached a peak of 0.5238 after disclosure before receding to its current value of 0.4752.

Directly requires validation and sanitization of untrusted input such as the 's' parameter before it is concatenated into SQL queries, eliminating the root cause of the CWE-89 flaw.
Mandates timely identification and remediation of the vulnerable plugin code (versions ≤ 3.6.1) that fails to use prepared statements or proper escaping.
Enables monitoring of database query patterns and anomalous input in the LeadsAjaxController path to identify successful or attempted SQL injection exploitation.
