⚠️ A simple password reset can turn into a full-blown SQL injection attack! If you're using CubeCart before version 6.1.13, this one’s for you! Think of the 'I forgot my Password!' feature like a safety deposit box at a bank. If the clerk doesn't check your ID properly before giving you access, anyone could just walk in and grab the valuables! An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to run malicious SQL queries, potentially accessing or manipulating sensitive data in the database. This could lead to unauthorized access to user accounts and sensitive information. Yikes!
