What it is

⚠️ A crafty file upload vulnerability is lurking in CSZ CMS 1.2.3! An attacker can upload a .php file to the server and execute arbitrary code with a simple visit to the right URI. 🕵️‍♂️ Think of it like a restaurant where someone can sneak in a sandwich under the guise of a dessert. Once that sandwich (the malicious file) is inside, they can change the entire menu (execute code) without anyone noticing! If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to run any code they desire on your server, potentially leading to data breaches, website defacement, or even total control over your system. Yikes!
