What it is

⚡ An authenticated domain user can remotely execute code on the Backup Server – not a great party trick! Think of it like giving a trusted employee the master key to all the safes in a bank. They can access sensitive information and make changes without anyone noticing, which is quite the risk! This could allow a malicious user to run arbitrary code, leading to a full compromise of the server. Imagine an intruder sneaking in through the front door, accessing critical backups, modifying data, or even wiping everything clean. Absolutely devastating!
