What it is

⚠️ A crafty command injection vulnerability lurks in effect through 1.0.4! Just by tweaking the options argument, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands – yikes! Think of it like a restaurant where an overly trusting chef prepares any dish the waiter recommends, even if it's not on the menu — if the waiter gets a wild idea, the chef could whip up something dangerous! This means an attacker could potentially run any command on your system, leading to unauthorized access, data loss, or even complete control of your application. It's a recipe for disaster if left unchecked!
