What it is

⚠️ A sneaky SQL injection lurks in AtomCMS v2.0, ready to pounce at the admin login. Just think of it like a waiter who takes your order without checking the menu — processing whatever you say without question! Imagine a restaurant where the staff doesn’t verify orders before sending them to the kitchen. If a diner shouts a dish they want without explanation, they might get something completely different — like a fiery chili instead of a mild soup! An attacker could exploit this SQL injection to manipulate the database, sneakily accessing sensitive data or even making changes they shouldn't. It's like a mischievous diner swapping all the sugar for salt in the kitchen!
