🔥 A remote authenticated user can exploit a sneaky gap in Synology Antivirus Essential's quarantine feature! Think of this vulnerability like a hotel where guests (users) can access other rooms (resources) without proper authorization, simply because the check-in process forgot to verify who they are!
