If the input isn't validated, malicious SQL could be slipped right into the database without a second thought. An attacker could execute unauthorized commands, potentially exposing or tampering with sensitive user data. Imagine a data breach on a job portal where personal information of all applicants is up for grabs! The consequences could be absolutely devastating.
