What it is

🚨 A single vulnerable endpoint lets attackers escalate privileges like a crafty thief finding an unlocked back door! 🔥 Think of the /upFile component as a hotel check-in desk that accepts guests without verifying their IDs. An attacker could slip in as another user, gaining access to all their private rooms – a serious breach of trust! If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands on the server with escalated privileges – imagine them walking in and taking control of your entire operation! This could lead to devastating data losses or unauthorized access to sensitive information. It's absolutely critical to act fast!
