## Technical details

An unauthenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in Pi.Alert's web interface within the `/pialert/php/server/devices.php` component. The application fails to properly sanitize the `scansource` URL parameter when the `action` parameter is set to `getDevicesTotals`. Furthermore, the code contains an explicit authentication bypass for this specific action, allowing requests even when password protection is enabled. An attacker can exploit this by injecting SQL commands into the `scansource` parameter to exfiltrate data from the SQLite database. The issue was addressed in the 2026-05-07 update by implementing better input handling and access controls.
