Technical details

The admin/login.php file concatenates the password parameter directly into an SQL query without escaping or prepared statements (CWE-89). An unauthenticated attacker can inject SQL expressions like "sleep(2)" to trigger time-based blind exfiltration. By measuring response delays, the attacker can extract plaintext credentials from the users table character by character and gain admin access.
