How I bypassed Cloudflare's SQL Injection filter

Consider: Your org is more likely to be run by people that are like the sales people than like you. Who do you think they side with, when sales goes up the chain to complain development broke their new initiative and is saying it'll take 4x longer to do the thing they already did themselves, and as a direct result means they won't hit revenue numbers this quarter?

What's even the risk here? Some minor marketing sub-site gets defaced, causing - at worst - an embarassing but instantly-forgotten incident?

No the risk is that somebody has decided to disregard security and general security process and create shadow IT, which if left unchecked will create massive problems within the organisation long term. If the culture is to disregard security, throw a waf infront and call it a day then they’ll pay for it financially (and possibly legally) in the long run and not something I’d want to associate with at all.
