## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the showSearchResult() and showSearchResultAjax() functions, which read the textsearch/searchText request parameter and pass it unsanitized into a SQL LIKE clause. The $input->getVar() method only strips HTML tags but does not escape SQL syntax or quotes, allowing UNION SELECT injection. The search endpoint (mod_osgallery_search) requires no authentication and is publicly accessible by design.
