## Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SemCms versions up to and including 5.0. The flaw is located in the 'pid' parameter within the SEMCMS_ct.php file. An attacker with low-privileged (authenticated) access can submit specially crafted SQL queries through this parameter to bypass intended database queries.
