What it is

⚠️ A sneaky command injection flaw lurks in Adobe Dreamweaver CC 18.0 and earlier — like giving your computer a blank check! 💻💸 Think of it as a restaurant where the chef doesn’t check the orders before cooking them. An attacker could submit a dangerous request that the server obligingly prepares without question, leading to unintended consequences. If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the machine, possibly leading to the takeover of the user's session. This could grant them access to sensitive information or cause significant disruption in the affected environment.
