🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the ID parameter in /admin/manage_user.php with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check software documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Test the same parameter after implementing fixes to ensure SQL injection no longer works📡 Detection & Monitoring
