🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the name parameter in /dashboard/admin/edit_member.php with SQL injection payloads (e.g., ' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check system version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return proper error handling📡 Detection & Monitoring
