AI-suggested

1. Immediate code review and sanitization: Developers should implement prepared statements with parameterized queries in the /edit_user.php file to prevent SQL injection. 2. Input validation: Enforce strict validation and sanitization of all user-supplied inputs, especially the 'ID' parameter, to ensure only expected data types and formats are accepted. 3. Principle of least privilege: Ensure the database user account used by the application has minimal privileges, limiting the potential damage from a successful injection attack. 4. Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the grading system. 5. Monitoring and logging: Enable detailed logging of database queries and application access to detect suspicious activities early. 6. Patch management: Engage with the vendor or community to obtain or develop patches addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly. 7. Network segmentation: Isolate the grading system from critical infrastructure to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 8. Regular security assessments: Conduct periodic penetration testing and code audits to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively.
