⚠️ A crafty SQL injection lurks in phpIPAM 1.4, and it’s entirely triggered by a simple table parameter when you try to add custom fields! Think of it like a restaurant that takes your order but forgets to check the ingredients — a sneaky chef could swap in something hazardous without anyone noticing! If exploited, an attacker could manipulate the database, potentially exposing sensitive information or even altering critical data. It’s like giving someone the ability to rewrite the restaurant’s menu at will — absolute chaos in the kitchen!
