What it is

⚠️ A sneaky little header could let anyone upload any file they want! By sending a 'Content-Type: image/png' to FortiLogger, attackers can access sensitive areas like they own the place! 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant that allows customers to bring their own ingredients for a dish without checking what's in the bag. If no one looks at the contents, someone could sneak in something unexpected — or downright harmful! If exploited, an attacker could potentially upload dangerous files, leading to data breaches or even full system compromise. This could put sensitive user data at risk and severely impact system integrity — absolutely devastating for any organization.
