⚠️ A sneaky SQL injection in login.php lets attackers waltz past authentication just by playing with the navigate-user cookie! Think of it like a restaurant where anyone can walk in if they just mention a secret dish instead of showing a reservation. With this bug, attackers don’t even need a proper menu to place their order! An attacker could easily bypass login mechanisms, gaining access to sensitive areas of the CMS as if they had VIP status. This means they could potentially expose, modify, or delete critical content without any guards in place!
