Exponent · Exponent Cms · CVE-2016-9183
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Exponent CMS version 2.4.0
**Description**
The issue concerns the passing of untrusted input into the `selectObjectsBySql` method in the `orderController.php` file of the Exponent CMS. This method, part of the `mysqli database` class, attempts to prevent SQL injection using the `injectProof` method. However, this filter can be easily bypassed because it only sanitizes user input if there are odd numbers of ' or " characters. The impact of this issue is Information Disclosure.
**Recommendations**
For Exponent CMS version 2.4.0, consider disabling the `selectObjectsBySql` method in the `orderController.php` file until a proper fix is available, or ensure that all input to this method is thoroughly validated and sanitized to prevent SQL injection attacks.
