## Technical details

The vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in the tags manager component (manage_tags.php) that arises from insufficient input validation on the tagid and type parameters in POST requests to tools.php?action=manage_tags. The vulnerable code constructs SQL queries by directly concatenating user-controlled input without proper parameterized queries or escaping. An authenticated attacker with users_mod (moderator) privileges can exploit this via blind SQL injection techniques to extract arbitrary data from the database, including the users_main table. No patch information is currently available.
