Technical details
The MySQLDB::addNewUser() function in include/database.php concatenates the branch parameter directly into an INSERT statement without quoting or escaping (CWE-89). Because the unvalidated branch value is unquoted, an attacker can terminate the VALUES tuple and inject additional rows with arbitrary column values, including userlevel=9 (administrator). This is a remote, unauthenticated attack requiring only the ability to submit a registration form with a crafted payload.
