Technical details
The vulnerability is a SQL injection in the admin login component (success/login.php) caused by insufficient input sanitization. The application uses htmlspecialchars() with the ENT_COMPAT flag, which only escapes double quotes but not single quotes. User-supplied username input is concatenated directly into a SQL query without prepared statements. An attacker can inject SQL by submitting a username like "admin'#" to comment out the password check and bypass authentication. The vulnerability is network-accessible without authentication prerequisites, allowing remote authentication bypass and full database access via union-based SQL injection.
