## Technical details

SQL injection exists in five admin endpoint files (qsdb.php, usersdb.php, brandb.php, topicsdb.php, subjectsdb.php) where POST parameters (query, qtype, sortname, sortorder) are concatenated unsanitized into SQL WHERE and ORDER BY clauses. The vulnerability requires no authentication and is exploitable via network access; attackers can inject UNION-based payloads through the qtype parameter to extract arbitrary table rows directly in the JSON response.
