      "value": "The Apocalypse Meow plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'type' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 22.1.0. This is due to a flawed logical operator in the type validation check on line 261 of ajax.php — the condition uses `&&` (AND) instead of `||` (OR), causing the `in_array()` validation to be short-circuited and never evaluated for any non-empty type value. Combined with `stripslashes_deep()` being called on line 101 which removes `wp_magic_quotes()` protection, attacker-controlled single quotes pass through unescaped into the SQL query on line 298. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database."

      "value": "El plugin Apocalypse Meow para WordPress es vulnerable a inyecciones SQL a través del parámetro \"type\" en todas las versiones hasta la 22.1.0, incluida esta. Esto se debe a un operador lógico defectuoso en la comprobación de validación de tipo en la línea 261 de ajax.php: la condición utiliza \"&&\" (AND) en lugar de «||» (OR), lo que provoca que la validación «in_array()» se acorte y nunca se evalúe para ningún valor de tipo no vacío. En combinación con la llamada a `stripslashes_deep()` en la línea 101, que elimina la protección `wp_magic_quotes()`, las comillas simples controladas por el atacante pasan sin escapar a la consulta SQL de la línea 298. Esto permite a los atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel administrador o superior, añadir consultas SQL adicionales a las consultas ya existentes, que pueden utilizarse para extraer información confidencial de la base de datos."
