⚠️ A sneaky SQL injection hides in the limit() function. If you’re using Pixie versions 1.0.x before 1.0.3 or 2.0.x before 2.0.2, this is a good time to check your defenses! Think of it like a restaurant that only checks orders at the front but lets the kitchen cook whatever someone whispers under the table — you could end up with some terrifying surprises on your menu! An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to manipulate or query sensitive data from your database. Imagine them slipping in a malicious SQL statement and suddenly gaining access to everything from user accounts to confidential information. Yikes!
