What it is

🚨 A single malicious RPN value could turn Centreon into a playground for attackers! 🤖 Imagine an unsuspecting chef who uses a recipe that allows anyone to slip in any secret ingredient — if they don’t double-check, the whole dish could be ruined! This vulnerability does just that, letting attackers execute their own code via the Virtual Metric form, bypassing all defenses. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code on the server, potentially compromising sensitive data and disrupting services. It’s like handing over the chef's knife to anyone who walks into the kitchen! 🔥
