  A critical vulnerability has been found in phpWordPress, which can
  be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

  The vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate input passed to the
  "poll", "category", and "ctg" parameters in "index.php". This can be
  exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
