⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could manipulate transaction data to steal funds, alter transaction amounts, or compromise user accounts through API abuse.
Likely Case
Attackers bypass input validation to submit unauthorized or malformed transactions, potentially leading to financial loss or data corruption.
If Mitigated
With proper network restrictions and monitoring, impact is limited to anomalous transactions that can be detected and investigated.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires API access but input validation bypass vulnerabilities are typically easy to exploit once identified.
