What it is

⚠️ A crafty SQL injection hides in the CASAP Automated Enrollment System! By simply manipulating the 'id' parameter in edit_stud.php, an attacker could execute arbitrary SQL statements. 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant order where a waiter takes instructions straight from the customers instead of checking authorized menus. If a customer slips in a secret recipe request, the kitchen could end up making something entirely unintended! With this vulnerability, an attacker could waltz right into your database and execute dangerous commands—potentially accessing or manipulating sensitive student data. It's crucial to keep these unauthorized guests at bay!
