What it is

⚠️ A crafty crafted request is all it takes to escalate privileges in the Nipah virus Testing Management System! 🔥 Think of this vulnerability like a sneaky employee getting a fake ID to access restricted areas of a building — once they're in, they can do whatever they want without anyone noticing! An attacker exploiting this vulnerability could gain elevated privileges, potentially allowing them to manipulate user data, access sensitive information, or even compromise the entire system! It’s like giving a junior intern the keys to the executive suite — things could get chaotic fast!
