Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-5350 is a SQL injection issue in the WordPress Pay With Tweet plugin before version 1.2. An authenticated user with certain permissions could abuse a shortcode parameter to run database commands. This is most relevant to older WordPress sites that still have the plugin installed. Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites running Pay With Tweet versions before 1.2 where lower-privileged authenticated users can create or influence paywithtweet shortcodes. Prioritize cleanup on externally reachable WordPress sites with this plugin installed. The issue is old and requires authentication, but SQL injection can affect site integrity and database confidentiality. Mitigation focus: Inventory WordPress sites for the Pay With Tweet plugin.; Upgrade away from Pay With Tweet versions before 1.2, after checking vendor guidance.; Disable or remove the plugin if an update path is unavailable..
