Imagine someone taking over your restaurant's order system and changing all the pizza recipes to something unsavory! To combat this, immediately sanitize all user inputs and implement prepared statements to safely handle database queries. Additionally, review your code to ensure that no other endpoints are vulnerable. Now’s the time to clean up! You've got this!
