Put simply

Think of it like a restaurant that allows anyone to bring in ingredients without checking them. If a mischievous chef slips in some spoiled food, they could ruin the whole menu and make everyone sick! Zoho ManageEngine ADManager Plus versions 7110 and earlier allow for unrestricted file uploads, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the server.
