Specifically, versions 10.3.0 up to 12.1.1 contain a flaw in how they handle tile extents in PSD image decoding and encoding. The vulnerability arises from an integer overflow when calculating tile extent sums, which bypasses intended bounds checks. This allows a specially crafted PSD image with malicious tile dimensions to trigger an out-of-bounds write in \u003ccode\u003esrc/decode.c\u003c/code\u003e and \u003ccode\u003esrc/encode.c\u003c/code\u003e.

Specifically, the code first calls \u003ccode\u003estripslashes_deep($_POST)\u003c/code\u003e, effectively removing WordPress\u0026rsquo;s magic quotes protection. Subsequently, the unsanitized \u003ccode\u003emap_post_type\u003c/code\u003e value is directly concatenated into an \u003ccode\u003eIN(...)\u003c/code\u003e clause without proper escaping using \u003ccode\u003eesc_sql()\u003c/code\u003e or \u003ccode\u003e$wpdb-\u0026gt;prepare()\u003c/code\u003e.

Successful exploitation requires the Geo Search feature to be enabled in the plugin\u0026rsquo;s settings.
