Technical details

A time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in /login.php (lines 40–42) where the password parameter from $_POST is concatenated directly into a SQL query without escaping or prepared statements. An unauthenticated attacker can inject SQL expressions such as "and (select sleep(5))" to confirm injection and extract data character-by-character from any database table. The vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely via HTTP POST requests.
