## Technical details

The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection in the ChapterModel::searchChapter function and related search handlers in ChapterController.class.php. The vulnerable code constructs raw SQL WHERE clauses using string interpolation of user-supplied POST and GET parameters (content and tag fields) without parameterized queries or prepared statements. An unauthenticated attacker can supply SQL boolean predicates (e.g., "notfound' OR 1=1 OR 'x'='y") in the search field to alter query logic and extract all database records or execute arbitrary SQL. The attack requires only network access to the web application and no authentication. The vendor was notified via issue report but has not responded or provided a patch.
