Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via the "search" parameter to the "getVideo" function in the "/objects/video.php" file when the "VideoTags" plugin is enabled. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
