RCE: Introduction

Introduction to Remote Control Execution

Remote Control Execution (RCE) refers to a vulnerability where an attacker can execute arbitrary code on a server. This type of attack is critical and leads to severe consequences, such as unauthorized data access, server compromise, or even complete server control. Understanding RCE, its risks, and its mitigation is critical for secure development.

Security Implications

The implications of RCE can be severe. An attacker with control over a server can perform malicious actions like:

• Accessing sensitive data
• Modifying server files
• Deploying malware
• Launching additional attacks (e.g., DDoS)

It's crucial to understand how RCE can occur and take preventive measures to secure applications.
