What it is

⚠️ Just one simple POST request could let attackers create admin accounts in AbiSoft Ticketly 1.0 — it's like giving someone a key to the executive suite without asking for ID! 🔑 Think of it as a restaurant where anyone can just walk up to the host stand and add their names to the VIP list, no questions asked! If the staff isn't checking IDs, those shady characters could waltz right in and take over the kitchen. If exploited, an attacker could gain full control of the system and wreak havoc — accessing sensitive information, deleting records, or even changing configurations at will. It’s a recipe for a disaster that no one wants on their plate!
