This vulnerability in Sourcecodester Online Bike Rental v1.0 is a sneaky one. 🔥 Think of the upload feature as a hotel front desk that allows any guest to leave their bags without checking what's inside — an unmonitored service where anything could slip through, even dangerous surprises!

This could result in unauthorized access to critical areas of the application, exposing both the service and its users to dire consequences.
