PLE CMS 1.0 beta 4.2 Blind SQL Injection Exploit

This exploit is used to gain access to the password of a user in the PLE CMS 1.0 beta 4.2 software. It uses a GET request to the login.php page with a crafted SQL query to determine the password of the user. The exploit uses a loop to iterate through each character of the password and determine its value.

Mitigation:

Ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated before being used in a SQL query.
