Think of it as a restaurant where the chef will cook anything that customers request without checking their ID. One rogue customer could easily make a meal that taints everyone’s experience! The vulnerability lies in the Framework Daemon allowing remote code execution through specially crafted plugin configuration files (.cfg). When these malicious configurations are processed, they can run harmful Python code unchecked.
