Who should care

This includes reviewing the plugin's configuration, monitoring database activity, and implementing additional security controls as needed.

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in the Tutor LMS plugin due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied 'data' parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.
