Just a quick scribble on a napkin, and suddenly, they get a gourmet meal instead of a side salad! This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modifications of purchase information, allowing attackers to manipulate orders or financial details at will. If exploited, it can result in financial loss for both the business and customers, severely damaging trust and reputation.
