What it is

🚨 An unrestricted file upload vulnerability lets attackers drop a web shell straight onto your server! 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant chef who ignores the ingredients list and lets anyone walk into the kitchen with any food item — the result can be a recipe for disaster! If an attacker uploads a web shell, they could gain full control over your server, allowing them to access sensitive data, manipulate files, or even take down the entire system. This isn’t just a small leak; it’s like handing over the master keys to your restaurant, letting intruders cook up chaos!
