AI-suggested

1. Immediately restrict access to the /admin/add_candidate_modal.php interface to trusted administrators only, using network segmentation and strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication. 2. Implement input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters, especially 'firstname', using allowlists and rejecting unexpected characters. 3. Refactor the application code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 4. Monitor database logs and application logs for suspicious queries or anomalies indicative of injection attempts. 5. Conduct a thorough security audit of the entire voting system to identify and remediate similar injection flaws. 6. If possible, upgrade to a patched version once available or apply vendor-provided patches promptly. 7. Educate administrators on secure usage practices and the risks of SQL injection. 8. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules tuned to detect and block SQL injection payloads targeting the affected endpoints. 9. Regularly back up voting system data and test restoration procedures to minimize impact in case of data corruption or loss.
