What it is

🚨 A sneaky SQL Injection lurks in PHPGurukul’s COVID 19 Testing Management System v1.0! Attackers can execute arbitrary code just by sending a crafted mobnumber in the POST request! 🔥 Think of this like a restaurant where a customer simply orders a dish that the chef interprets in a dangerous way — the chef can end up preparing anything and everything, potentially spilling secrets or ruining the whole kitchen! An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute any code on the server, leading to devastating consequences like data breaches, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or even a complete system takeover. This is a critical flaw that should raise alarms!
