What it is

🚨 An authenticated user can run OS commands remotely in all FitNesse releases! 😱 Think of it like giving someone a guest pass to your house but letting them access the entire master control room — they could change the thermostat, unlock the doors, or even take over the security system! This is absolutely devastating! An attacker could execute any command on the operating system, potentially leading to total system compromise — imagine losing control of your entire setup! With a CVSS score of 9.8, the stakes couldn't be higher.
