What it is

⚡ A sneaky eval injection vulnerability lurks in Gravity GTD's rpc.php! This one lets remote attackers run arbitrary PHP code just by tweaking the objectname parameter. 😱 Think of it as a restaurant where the chef blindly follows any order, no matter how ludicrous. An attacker could send a request that, instead of a delicious meal, triggers harmful code execution — a recipe for disaster! An attacker could completely take over the server, executing malicious code at will. This could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or even completely ruining your site. That's a bad meal no one wants!
