What it is

⚠️ A sneaky gap in file uploads could let attackers slip malicious files into your system! 📁 Think of this vulnerability as a restaurant that allows delivery drivers to drop off food without verifying the order—anyone could send in anything without a proper check! 🍕 If exploited, an attacker could upload harmful files that compromise system integrity, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data breaches. It’s like having an unmonitored kitchen where anything could be served to customers, and we definitely don’t want that!
