⚠️ A crafty self-forged POST request could let users bump up their privileges without anyone noticing! Think of it like a person at a buffet who hands in a fake ticket for VIP access to the dessert table—essentially skipping the line and getting extra goodies without permission. An attacker could manipulate the system to gain higher-level access, allowing them to view or modify sensitive information. This could lead to unauthorized changes to accounts, potentially compromising the integrity of the entire membership structure.
