🚨 A sneaky permissions flaw in Friendica v.2023.12 lets remote attackers access sensitive info and even run their own code — and all they need is a crafted calendar event! 🔥 Think of this as a restaurant where a guest can sneak into the kitchen just by asking for the dessert menu — any special recipe (sensitive information) or even cooking (executing code) is now up for grabs! 🍰 This vulnerability could lead to devastating consequences, allowing attackers to access private user data, manipulate events, and execute malicious code at will. It's like handing over the keys to your personal vault, potentially putting your entire operation at risk!
