⚡ Before version 2.1.0, Dragonfly's Manager UI was like an unlocked door - anyone could stroll in and wreak havoc! Think of it as a restaurant where anyone can place endless orders without checking in with the chef, causing the kitchen to overflow with requests and stop serving legitimate customers. It's an absolute recipe for disaster! An unauthenticated attacker could bombard the Manager with hundreds of bogus jobs, locking out legitimate administrators and rendering the service useless. This denial-of-service attack could disrupt operations, causing frustration and downtime for users who rely on it.
