What it is

⚠️ Remote attackers can craft sneaky search parameters that lead straight to SQL execution in OTRS — and that’s definitely not a good thing! 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant where anyone can modify the menu without the chef noticing. A customer could easily request a dish that doesn't exist, potentially throwing the whole kitchen into chaos! If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary SQL commands, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data or even compromising the entire database. It’s a recipe for disaster! 🚨
