Is it really possible to use SQL injection to change a database, or is this a scam?

A guy I know at college is claiming he can change his grades by gaining access to the database through an SQL inject, and can also gain access to all admin account privileges and records. The portal is accessed through outlook account and he did a pentest to prove it is vulnerable, ive attached the results.
I am new to coding so not sure whether to believe it, is it really possible? from what I believed, the only systems vulnerable to this would be the worst ones, configured by somebody who has never used the database software before, which is extremely unlikely for this college.
Are the pentest results real and should be concerned? Is it worth reporting to warn the college?
