Description

A vulnerability in the 'Add API Documentation' feature allows malicious users with specific permissions
(`/permission/admin/login` and `/permission/admin/manage/api/publish`) to upload arbitrary files to a user-controlled
server location. This flaw could be exploited to execute remote code, enabling an attacker to gain control over the server.
