## Technical details

The vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in the get_cc.php endpoint (tools.php?action=get_cc) that processes the 'ip' parameter unsafely. The Tools::geoip() function in tools.class.php does not properly sanitize or parameterize the $_GET['ip'] input before passing it to a database query, allowing an authenticated user with the 'users_view_ips' permission to inject arbitrary SQL. Attack requires authentication and the specific privilege grant, but no additional user interaction. An attacker can execute SELECT, UPDATE, or DELETE queries depending on database configuration, potentially exfiltrating user records, modifying tracker data, or gaining further system access. No patch information is publicly available at this time.
