  name: WP Ticket <= 6.0.4 - SQL Injection
  author: HaroonArshad-53

  description: |
    WP Ticket (wp-ticket) for WordPress through 6.0.4 allows unauthenticated SQL injection via front-end search due to unsanitized use of the "s" parameter in emd_author_search_results(). Exploitation requires at least one guest ticket. Fixed in 6.0.5.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can extract sensitive database information via SQL injection, potentially compromising the entire database.
  remediation: |
    Update WP Ticket plugin to a version later than 6.0.4 or the latest available version.
