What it is

⚠️ Watch out! An innocent login process could turn into a privilege escalator for attackers! πŸš€ Think of it like a restaurant where the staff can overhear your order, and then sneak into the kitchen to whip up whatever they fancy. If attackers capture user login details, they could gain unauthorized access to sensitive areas of the application, just like a waitstaff who suddenly decides to cook up a storm without permission. The consequences could be quite serious! An attacker with escalated privileges could potentially access or manipulate sensitive data, putting patient information at risk and undermining the integrity of the application. This isn't a full-blown breach, but it opens a door to a world of trouble!
