What it is

⚠️ A single username input in the forget.php script could open the door to SQL injection — like a delivery driver handing over sensitive packages without checking the address! 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant where the chef prepares meals without knowing what ingredients are actually on the order ticket. If someone orders a dish but doesn’t double-check, they might end up with something completely unexpected — and potentially harmful! An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to manipulate the database, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or even data deletion. It's a sneaky way to get sensitive information or disrupt service, and it's absolutely a situation you don't want to find yourself in!
