🔥 An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access can upload any file they want — think of it as a sneaky guest slipping through the door with a duffel bag full of trouble! Imagine a restaurant where the chef never checks the delivery truck. Any random package, be it fresh ingredients or something spoiled, gets accepted without a second thought. That's what happens here when the Brizy – Page Builder plugin lacks proper file type validation! This vulnerability could lead to an attacker uploading malicious files to your server, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary code. In the worst-case scenario, they could gain full control of your site, access sensitive data, or even launch further attacks. Protecting your site is crucial!
