The "Most-circulated items" report built its SQL by concatenating the
Criteria and Filter request parameters directly into the query, with no
bind placeholders and no whitelist on the Criteria identifier. An
authenticated staff user with the reports permission could inject
arbitrary SQL and read any data reachable by the Koha database user.
This validates the Criteria parameter against a fixed allow-list of the
report's own column options (matching reports/cat_issues_top.tt) so it
is safe to use as a SQL identifier, and binds every Filter value with a
placeholder in both the column-header query and the main calculation
query. The Limit parameter is validated as a plain integer.
This mirrors the fix already applied to the sibling
reports/bor_issues_top.pl (bug 42369).
Test plan:
0. Apply the patch
1. koha-plack --restart kohadev
2. Go to Reports > Most-circulated items (reports/cat_issues_top.pl)
3. Run the report with various Criteria and Filter values, confirm the
output is correct and no errors appear
4. Before the patch, a Filter value or the Criteria containing SQL (a
single quote followed by a subquery) broke out of the query. After
the patch, confirm such input is treated as a literal value: you get
normal output or an empty result, with no SQL error, no delay, and no
data leak
