What it is

⚠️ An unrestricted file upload in Zoho ManageEngine ADManager Plus could let an attacker slip in their own code with just a simple upload! 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant accepting delivery orders without verifying what’s inside - an employee might receive a package from the chef that actually contains someone else’s secret recipe! This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or even full control over the system. Imagine a sneaky intruder getting into the kitchen and cooking up a storm without anyone noticing!
