🧬 Weakness Anatomy — CWE-89, the underlying flaw class

This vulnerability is classified as CWE-89: SQL Injection in the primary record. The mechanics below are characteristic of this weakness class (per the MITRE CWE corpus), not a claim about a specific exploit observed against your environment.

How it's exploited	Attacker injects SQL through unsanitized input to read, modify, or destroy database contents, or bypass authentication.
Detect & prevent	Parameterized queries / prepared statements; least-privilege DB accounts. Detect via WAF SQLi signatures and DB query-anomaly / error-rate monitoring.

⚠️ Business Impact Analysis

⚠️ Data exfiltration risk — customer and sensitive data at risk
