In short

An attacker can run malicious code on the affected system without needing to log in or have permission. This is extremely dangerous because it gives complete control of the system to an unauthorized person.

Technical detail

An unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary code through an input validation flaw (CWE-94: Code Injection), likely via network-accessible endpoints. No credentials or prior access required; successful exploitation grants full system compromise with the privileges of the affected application.
