⚠️ A sneaky SQL Injection lurks in ZoneMinder's ajax/status.php sort parameter! Just a small tweak in the request can let attackers dive deep into your database. 🔍 Think of it like a waiter who accidentally spills the chef's secret recipes because their order pad was missing an important section. One simple oversight in the way queries are handled can lead to a full menu reveal! An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to manipulate database queries, potentially accessing or altering sensitive information stored within the system. While it's not known to be actively exploited, the risk of unauthorized data exposure remains a concern.
