🚨 An account takeover is just one sneaky POST request away! If someone exploits the userId and email parameters on OvalEdge, they could rewrite the rules on your account. 🔥 Think of it like a hotel check-in where a clever impersonator uses your name to get a room key without showing ID — they can now access all your personal belongings, including confidential data. With this vulnerability, an attacker could easily hijack an authenticated user's account, gaining access to sensitive information and potentially causing chaos. Imagine someone using your identity to change your settings, access reports, or even expose private data! It's absolutely devastating!
