⚠️ A non-admin user can twist the knife if left unchecked! The LogStare Collector has misconfigured access permissions that allow unexpected file manipulations — like handing the keys to the candy store to a kid who shouldn’t be there! Think of it like a local coffee shop that mistakenly leaves the back door unlocked. Anyone can come in, rearrange the supplies, or even make a special brew without the owner’s knowledge — potentially ruining the shop’s reputation! This oversight could be quite a headache, allowing a user without administrative rights to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. They could alter crucial files or install malware, creating chaos in the environment. Best case, it’s a nuisance; worst case, it’s a full-blown security incident!
