What it is

⚠️ All it takes is a crafty video upload. Zoho ManageEngine Desktop Central before build 100092 can let attackers run arbitrary code — like letting an uninvited guest into your party with a fake invitation! 🎥 Think of it like a restaurant that allows anyone to submit recipe videos without checking if they actually follow food safety guidelines. One bad video could lead to a disastrous meal! If an attacker successfully exploits this, they could execute any code they want on the system, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized access, or total system compromise. It’s a breach that could spiral out of control if left unchecked!
