## Technical details

A blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the photo search endpoint (photos.class.php) where user-supplied query parameters are passed unsanitized into SQL WHERE and ORDER BY clauses. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit time-based blind SQL injection techniques without authentication. Successful exploitation allows extraction of user credentials and password hashes from the database, enabling account takeover.
