⚠️ A hidden vulnerability in Menalto Gallery lets attackers create albums and upload files, and it's been lurking since before version 2.2.4! 🎨 Think of it like a gallery opening where anyone can just stroll in, set up their own exhibit, and hang whatever art (or files) they want without permission. This means malicious actors could fill your gallery with unwanted content and potential malware! In the hands of an attacker, this vulnerability could lead to a messy gallery filled with unauthorized albums and files. If they exploit it, they might fill your storage with harmful content, creating chaos and potentially compromising your whole application.
