🚨 A missing authentication bug in Orca HCM means an attacker could stroll right in and create an admin account with zero verification! 🔥 Think of it like a hotel lobby where anyone can walk in, fill out a fake registration card, and instantly get access to the penthouse suite without any ID check. That’s the level of vulnerability we’re talking about here! An attacker could not only create their own admin account but also gain unfettered access to sensitive data, change settings, and wreak havoc—all without breaking a sweat. This is nothing short of a security nightmare!
