Description
The Unlimited Elements for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions 1.5.142 up to, and including, 2.0.20 because the term IDs of a widget's terms list 'include direct children of selected terms' option were concatenated into the get_terms WHERE clause (getDirectChildrenOfSelectedTerms on the terms_clauses filter) without validation or preparation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
