Imagine someone rocking up to a venue and delivering a package, but nobody checks what’s inside. 📦 It's like letting a delivery driver drop off any package without checking the label — if they send a sneaky trojan horse, they could wreak havoc from within! If an attacker uploads a PHP script disguised as a harmless file, they could execute arbitrary code on your server. This means they could potentially take over your system, steal sensitive information, or even bring down your site — absolutely devastating!
