Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have severe impacts as it allows an unauthenticated attacker to fully manipulate the database of the Infoticketing system.

• Attackers can retrieve sensitive data stored in the database.
• Attackers can create, update, or delete database records, potentially causing data loss or corruption.
• Since no authentication is required, the attack can be performed remotely and without user interaction.

Such unauthorized access and manipulation can disrupt business operations, compromise user data, and damage the integrity and availability of the system.
