⚠️ A sneaky path traversal vulnerability lurks in Adobe XD versions 16.0 and earlier, allowing unintended file access! 🚨 Think of it like a delivery driver who doesn’t just stop at your front door but casually wanders through your garage and into your house. This vulnerability lets an attacker exploit the system with the right commands, bypassing security measures like a bold intruder! If exploited, this could lead to arbitrary code execution — meaning an attacker could run whatever they want on your system! Imagine a burglar not just stealing your valuables but also hijacking your entire house, changing the locks, and throwing a party without you knowing. Yikes!
