⚠️ A deleted minion can still write to another minion with the same ID! This caching mishap lets leftover entries run amok, creating unexpected chaos. 😱 Think of it like a restaurant where an old, deleted order still influences new ones. If the kitchen doesn’t clear the previous orders properly, they might serve up a dish that was supposed to be off the menu! 🍽️ This vulnerability allows a deleted minion to access or manipulate data of another active minion with the same ID, leading to potentially unauthorized operations. Imagine a rogue ex-employee still able to access sensitive company information!
