⚠️ A crafty parameter is all it takes for remote attackers to flip the switch on admin privileges in OXID eShop versions before 4.1.0! 🚨 Think of it like a delivery driver having access to the manager's key just because they put a sticker on the box that no one bothered to check. If they can get in with a simple trick, the whole shop is at risk! An attacker could waltz right into the backend and make any changes they want — from altering prices to accessing sensitive customer data. This could lead to unauthorized transactions and a total breakdown of trust with your customers.
