⚠️ A sneaky unguarded door in Artica Pandora FMS allows attackers to upload any plugin they want through an unauthenticated file upload! Think of it like a hotel allowing guests to drop off any package at the front desk without checking what’s inside before delivering it to the guest's room. It’s an open invitation for trouble! An attacker could potentially upload malicious plugins, leading to unauthorized access and control over the system. This could compromise sensitive data or allow for further attacks on the network, which is absolutely devastating!
