What it is

⚠️ A sneaky SQL injection is hiding in the SourceCodester Company Website CMS! Just by tweaking the Username argument, an attacker can manipulate your database—yikes! Think of it like a restaurant that accepts any name for a reservation without checking if it’s valid. If a customer could book under a fake name, they could order meals and rack up a bill without paying! This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute malicious SQL queries, potentially exposing sensitive data or even altering your database. If left unaddressed, it could lead to unauthorized access to user information or major disruptions in service.
