The GamiPress – The #1 gamification plugin to reward points, achievements, badges & ranks in WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'achievement_types' attribute of the gamipress_earnings shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 6.8.6 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.
