An attacker can take the reins in the user context of the database owner. 🔥 Think of it like a delivery driver dropping off a package at a secure facility, but instead of getting just a box, they slip a dangerous note inside that alters the entire operation! An attacker could manipulate the database as if they were the owner, potentially leading to devastating consequences like data leaks or unauthorized changes. Imagine the chaos if anyone could rewrite your vital blueprints without you knowing!
Think of it like a delivery driver dropping off a package at a secure facility, but instead of getting just a box, they slip a dangerous note inside that alters the entire operation!

It's like handing someone a master key without proper authentication checks.
