⚠️ A sneaky SQL injection is hiding in FS Amazon Clone 1.0! By manipulating the PATH_INFO to /VerAyari, attackers could possibly access sensitive data. 🔍 Think of it like a restaurant without a menu — customers (attackers) can order anything they want without restrictions. In this case, the database is the chef, and the SQL injection is the customer who doesn’t have to follow the normal ordering process. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to retrieve or manipulate data in the database, potentially revealing private information or altering critical records. While it hasn't been exploited widely, if it were to be discovered by malicious actors, it could lead to significant data breaches or unauthorized access.
