SQL Injection in RegistrationMagic WordPress Plugin

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in the RegistrationMagic WordPress plugin versions before 6.1.0.4. It occurs because the plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape user-supplied input in the 'rm_fromdate' and 'rm_dateupto' parameters before using them in SQL queries. This allows high-privilege users, such as administrators, to inject malicious SQL code into the database.
