Put simply

The vulnerability arises from inadequate validation in the image suffix function, allowing malicious code to be executed when an attacker uploads a crafted file.

What to do

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain full control of your server, potentially leading to data breaches, website defacement, or even creating a backdoor for future attacks—absolutely devastating!
