The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.6 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by unauthenticated users when a non-default search field type is configured.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
