⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise allowing attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to data exfiltration, privilege escalation, or full system takeover.
Likely Case
Unauthorized database access allowing data manipulation, extraction of sensitive information, or limited command execution within database context.
If Mitigated
Limited impact due to proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing SQL injection.
🎯 Exploit Status
SQL injection vulnerabilities are typically easy to exploit once discovered, but this requires authenticated privileged access which adds a barrier.
