## Technical details

The report_search.php file concatenates unsanitized POST parameters (datefrom and dateto) directly into a SQL BETWEEN clause without prepared statements or escaping. An authenticated attacker can inject SQL via the dateto parameter to perform boolean-based, error-based, time-based, and UNION-based SQL injection attacks, enabling extraction of arbitrary data from any database table including the admin table with plaintext passwords.
