DESCRIPTION:
Miroslav Stampar has discovered a vulnerability in the Global Content
Blocks plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "gcb" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/global-content-blocks/gcb/gcb_export.php is not
properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.3.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Miroslav Stampar
