🚨 A sneaky unrestricted file upload lets anyone drop a web shell on your server! This could turn your inventory management system into a playground for attackers. 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant accepting any dish a delivery person drops off without checking the order. If the chef isn’t careful, an unwanted ingredient could spoil the whole meal! An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to upload malicious scripts, giving them full control of the server. This means they could access sensitive data, manipulate inventory, or even take down the entire system. It’s an absolute disaster waiting to happen!
