BtitTracker has been reported to contain a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is supposedly due to the torrents.php script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'by' and 'order' variables. However, subsequent testing and evaluation by multiple researchers indicate that an attacker could not use this to inject a valid SQL query, rather it can only be used to force an SQL error.
