Think of it like a restaurant where the chef trusts any delivery order without checking the contents. If the delivery person slips in some rotten ingredients, the entire meal could turn sour! CVE-2023-38198 allows arbitrary command execution through the use of eval in acme.sh versions before 3.0.6. This means that if the script receives malicious input from a remote server, it will unwittingly execute that harmful command as if it were legitimate.
