🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by sending crafted SQL payloads to /admin/admin_forum/add_views.php?ID=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check forum version in admin panel or readme filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and return appropriate error handling📡 Detection & Monitoring
