Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in /source/registerform3.php where five POST parameters (post, resume, pemail, semail, setpassword) are concatenated directly into an INSERT statement without sanitization or prepared statements. The pemail parameter is the primary injection point. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this via the public registration endpoint to perform boolean-based, time-based blind, or error-based SQL injection to extract or modify database contents, with no authentication required.
