What it is

🚨 An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability with just a simple request! The `redirect_if_not_loggedin` function in Money Manager EX doesn't stop after redirecting, leaving a door wide open for file uploads. 🔥 Think of it like a security guard at a hotel who lets guests in but doesn’t check if they actually have a room. Once inside, anyone can sneak into any room without a key! This flaw could lead to absolute chaos—an attacker could upload any file imaginable, including malicious scripts that could take full control of your server. Just one wrong move, and your sensitive data or applications could be at risk of being fully compromised!
