What it is

🚨 A gaping hole in GroceryMart could expose users' sensitive info with ZERO authentication required! 🔥 Think of it like a grocery store's lost-and-found area where anyone can browse through unguarded, personal belongings—an open invitation for prying eyes! This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass any form of authentication and extract plaintext usernames and passwords from users.json. Imagine the chaos if every thief in town suddenly had access to your grocery list—except here, they can also pick your personal details, leading to identity theft or unauthorized access to accounts.

Put simply

Think of it like a grocery store's lost-and-found area where anyone can browse through unguarded, personal belongings—an open invitation for prying eyes!
