🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/

🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict network access to admin interface using IP whitelisting or VPN
- Implement database user with minimal privileges (read-only where possible)
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test admin_account_update.php with SQL injection payloads like: user_id=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check PHP files for version markers or review installation documentationVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt SQL injection tests and verify they are blocked or produce error messages without database interaction📡 Detection & Monitoring
