CVE-2024-6338: FV Player <= 7.5.46.7212 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection via exclude Parameter
The FV Flowplayer Video Player plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘exclude’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.5.46.7212 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.
