    [+] Summary : Critical security vulnerabilities discovered in YOURLS upgrade module (/admin/upgrade.php) 
                  that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, disclose sensitive database information, 
    			  and potentially compromise the entire YOURLS installation during upgrade processes.
    			 
    [+] Vulnerabilities: CSRF, IDOR, Missing Authorization, Missing Input Validation
