With this vulnerability, an attacker could gain full control over the database, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive student data, manipulation of grades, or even complete system compromise. This is absolutely devastating for any institution relying on the integrity of their information systems!

Put simply

Think of it like a chef who lets anyone in the kitchen write their own recipes without checking — one rogue ingredient can ruin the entire dish, or worse, poison the whole restaurant!
