What it is

⚡ An improperly controlled filename in VanKarWai Calafate could let an attacker include any file they want — a recipe for chaos! 📂 Think of it like a restaurant that allows patrons to order any dish by just naming it, without checking if it’s safe to serve. If someone names a dish that shouldn’t be on the menu, chaos ensues! 🍽️ An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to include malicious files into the PHP application, potentially leading to data theft or complete server compromise. This could cause absolute devastation to your application and anyone who uses it! ⚠️
