🚨 An attacker can execute arbitrary code during the installation of ACAP applications on Axis devices, which is a security nightmare! 🔥 Think of it like a poorly checked delivery system in a restaurant — a courier could slip in a harmful ingredient during food prep without anyone noticing, compromising the whole meal. 🍽️ This vulnerability allows attackers to gain control over the Axis device, potentially messing with critical operations, spying on users, or even launching further attacks. Imagine a chef sabotaging the kitchen from inside — absolutely devastating!
