The vulnerability requires no privileges to exploit, making it highly dangerous and likely to be targeted by attackers.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have severe impacts including allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on your server.
It can also lead to SQL injection, which may compromise your database integrity and confidentiality.
Attackers might perform path traversal attacks, potentially accessing sensitive files on your system.
Denial of service attacks are also possible, which can make your website unavailable to legitimate users.
