description

WP Post Author versions through 4.0.0 are affected by a blind SQL injection flaw. An attacker may be able to influence database queries and infer protected data; the advisory does not state the access conditions required.

mitigation

Disable WP Post Author until a patched release is available. If it must remain deployed, restrict access to its functionality and monitor for unexpected database-query activity.
