What they could let someone do.
What could happen
- Database injection
Someone could read or change what is in the site's database: customer details, orders, password records, or a new administrator account.
How: The software builds its questions to the database out of what visitors type, so carefully written input changes the question itself.

Someone could do things only an administrator should: change settings, see private data, or give themselves more rights.
How: Part of the software forgets to check who is asking before it does what was asked.
