This signature detects attempts to exploit a known SQL injection vulnerability in the WordPress Ajax Category Dropdown Plugin. It is due to insufficient validation of a parameter sent to the dhat-ajax-cat-dropdown-request.php script. An attacker can exploit this issue by manipulating the SQL query logic to carry out unauthorized actions on the underlying database.
