Description
A change in release 3.6.15 to the
sql_escape()
function incorrectly changes "0" to an empty string. That can cause a subsequent sql statement to fail due to trying to update an integer column with an empty string. Whether that is allowed depends on the sql mode.See this issue raised on the forum https://discuss.phplist.org/t/un-confirming-from-subscriber-profile-fails/10031/1
This is the commit in question, see the change to file public_html/lists/admin/mysqli.inc

I think that a null value is the only special case that needs to be handled, not any
empty
value.Related Issue
