DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the WP-RecentComments plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (when "action" is
set to "rc-content") is not properly sanitised before being used in a
SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.0.7. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
