**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SoftwareX versions 16.0.1 through 16.0.2
**Description**
SQL injection attacks can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, such as passwords, credit card details, or personal user information. Many high-profile data breaches in recent years have been the result of SQL injection attacks, leading to reputational damage and regulatory fines. In some cases, an attacker can obtain a persistent backdoor into an organization's systems, leading to a long-term compromise that can go unnoticed for an extended period.
**Recommendations**
For versions 16.0.1 and 16.0.2, update to version 16.0.3 or higher to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive data and implementing additional security measures to minimize the risk of exploitation.
