⚠️ A little authorization slip-up could let users with the wrong permissions access sensitive features in the Quick Interest Slider! Think of it like a restaurant where the waiter mistakenly hands the dessert menu to everyone, not just the VIPs — suddenly, anyone can order the fancy cakes that were meant for special guests! If exploited, unauthorized users could access restricted features, potentially leading to data exposure or manipulation. While it's a medium risk, the potential for confusion and misuse could certainly spoil the dining experience for your data!
