Put simply

It affects all versions of Instant Appointment up to 1.2, leaving systems wide open for exploitation.

What to do

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to run their own SQL commands, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data, altering appointments, or even deleting entire records.
