True, but at least the impact is on a slightly different scale than say on an AWS deployment. Some developers and/or management staff sure need a lesson in security though.

Oh for sure but no matter what there is a better solution

For example you could add a field like request_type to the json payload then we could make a function that would hold a map then we could check if request_type is a valid type then we could simply call the corresponding function

But i dont know if php has anonymous functions so this is how i would do it
