Official Description

The MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'meta_key' attribute of the 'mdf_select_title' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.3.3 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

The vulnerability arises from insufficient escaping of the user-supplied 'meta_key' parameter and lack of proper SQL query preparation, allowing authenticated attackers with Contributor-level permissions to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
