Put simply

Think of it like a restaurant that lets anyone walk into the kitchen without checking what they’re bringing in — a recipe for a really bad meal! In this case, it’s not just bad food; it could lead to remote code execution and complete control of your server. The vulnerability lies in the handle_upload_file function, which lacks proper file type validation in the YayExtra plugin.
