What it is

⚠️ A sneaky command injection vulnerability lurks in PbootCMS versions below 3.2.0, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands just by using the `create_function`. Think of it like a restaurant that allows customers to submit their own recipes without checking the ingredients—an unwatched kitchen could whip up something dangerous! An attacker could exploit this flaw to run any command on the server, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data manipulation, or even complete control over the system. While no known exploits are reported yet, the implications could be severe if weaponized.
