What it is

🚨 An improper control in file handling could let a crafty attacker escalate their privileges in the Build App Online tool — a dangerous mix of user control and file inclusion! 🔥 Think of a restaurant where anyone can write their own menu. If a mischievous diner can replace 'salmon' with 'a mysterious dish' — who knows what they’ll cook up? That’s similar to how this vulnerability operates, allowing unauthorized file access through local file inclusion. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to include malicious files, potentially leading to remote code execution or serious data breaches. If exploited, this could provide access to sensitive files and allow attackers to execute harmful scripts as if they were your server! This situation could be absolutely devastating for your application's security.
