Think of it like a restaurant that allows anyone to walk in and drop off any dish in the kitchen without anyone checking the ingredients—sounds like a recipe for disaster!

An attacker could upload malicious scripts disguised as innocuous files, leading to Remote Code Execution. This means they could take control of the server, manipulate data, or even launch attacks on other connected systems—absolutely devastating! Since this product is End-Of-Life and no patches will be provided, the best course of action is to migrate to a supported CMS immediately. If migrating isn't possible right away, consider isolating the system from the internet and monitoring for suspicious activity. Backup your data regularly as well! You've got this!
