Customer Support Ticket System & Helpdesk

The WP Ticket plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the WordPress search query parameter (`s`) in versions up to, and including, 6.0.4 The plugin hooks WordPress's `posts_request` filter with `wp_ticket_com_posts_request()`, which calls `emd_author_search_results()` when the current request is an unauthenticated front-end search. That function reads `$query->query_vars['s']` — already wp_unslash()'d by `WP_Query::parse_query()`, so wp_magic_quotes protection has been stripped — and concatenates the raw value into a SQL `LIKE` clause inside a UNION sub-SELECT appended to the main query, with no `$wpdb->prepare()` or escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already-existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

The Customer Support Ticket System & Helpdesk plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Code Injection via the 'path' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.5 due to the use of dynamic function invocation on an attacker-controlled value with insufficient validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke arbitrary parameterless PHP functions, which can be used to disrupt site functionality or expose sensitive information. The required nonce is publicly emitted via wp_localize_script whenever the plugin's [emd_form] shortcode is rendered on any public-facing page, making the endpoint reachable by unauthenticated visitors without any prior authentication or privilege.
