🚨 An unrestricted file upload in Photokit lets an attacker upload a web shell, and this is a recipe for disaster! 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant that allows delivery drivers to drop off any dish they want, no questions asked. If a malicious driver delivers a toxic meal, it could poison the entire kitchen! If exploited, this vulnerability would allow an attacker to upload a web shell, giving them the power to control the web server completely. This means they could read, modify, or even delete files, leading to catastrophic data breaches and service disruptions. Imagine the havoc that could unfold if sensitive customer data is exposed or your site goes offline!
