This could result in severe data breaches and costly downtime for your organization. Patch to the latest version of Code Generator Pro immediately to mitigate this vulnerability. It's also wise to review all SQL queries for proper input validation and consider implementing prepared statements to further safeguard against injection attacks. You've got this!
