⚠️ A sneaky remote code execution vulnerability is hiding in Pharmacy Management System v1.0! An attacker can exploit it with a cleverly crafted image file, like slipping a dangerous ingredient into a supposedly safe recipe. 📸 This vulnerability is like a restaurant chef accepting a dish that looks good on the outside without checking the quality of what’s inside. If they’re not careful, that one bad ingredient can ruin the entire meal! An attacker could upload a malicious image file and execute arbitrary code on the server, potentially gaining full control over the system. This could lead to data leaks, unauthorized transactions, or even a complete system takeover — absolutely devastating!
