What it is

🚨 One deceptively simple input is the entire exploit. This SQL injection flaw in Tecnick TCExam lets attackers sneak malicious commands into the database — like ordering a pizza but asking for toppings that aren't on the menu! Think of a restaurant where a customer slips a handwritten note with secret ingredients into their order. If the kitchen cooks without checking, they’ll whip up something completely unexpected — and potentially dangerous! An attacker could gain unauthorized access to the database, allowing them to read sensitive data, change user permissions, or even delete records. This kind of access can lead to an absolute disaster for an organization, compromising user privacy and trust!
