🚨 An unrestricted file upload lets attackers drop a web shell onto your server, and that's just as terrifying as it sounds! 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant that allows someone to drop a secret menu item into their kitchen without any checks. If that item is a dangerous dish, the entire meal could be ruined and even harm diners! An attacker could upload a malicious web shell, giving them total control over your server - they could read sensitive data, modify files, or even take down your entire website. This vulnerability is absolutely devastating, as it can lead to a complete compromise of your system and sensitive information leakage.
