⚠️ A sneaky SQL injection vulnerability lurks in TYPO3's lux extension! This annoying little bug can be found in versions before 17.6.1 and 18.x through 24.x before 24.0.2. 😱 Think of this SQL injection as a restaurant that allows anyone to change their order without checking if it’s actually on the menu. The potential for chaos increases when the kitchen doesn’t verify what’s being tossed into the pot! An attacker could potentially manipulate database queries, leading to unauthorized data access or even deletion. Imagine a diner changing an order to include something that's not even on the menu – it could cause a real mess!
