⚠️ A curious local user or cheeky remote attacker can navigate through this vulnerability, potentially gaining Qube Admin privileges with a simple '..' in a cookie! 😮 Imagine a hotel where a guest is given a master key to access any room simply by making a clever request at the front desk — that's what this directory traversal flaw allows! 📦 If exploited, an attacker could gain admin privileges, allowing them to do things like modify settings, access sensitive data, or even control the entire system. That's the kind of access that could lead to a massive breach! 🔥
