⚠️ An out-of-bounds write in CODESYS V2 Web-Server could allow attackers to manipulate data structures like a chef rearranging ingredients in a recipe without checking the menu! Think of it like a restaurant that accepts orders without verifying if the items are available. If a chef mistakenly adds too much salt or even the wrong ingredient, it could ruin the dish! This vulnerability could potentially lead to unexpected behavior in the server, possibly crashing the system or causing data corruption. While not exploited yet, the risk of mischief in the wrong hands could be absolutely devastating!
