Description

1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35944)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions when providing public access to the admin panel.

As a result, remote PHP code execution is possible.
