Remote Code Execution

Remote Code Execution (RCE) is a security vulnerability that allows an attacker to run malicious code on another person's computer over a network. This can happen through exploits in software or applications, enabling the attacker to gain control of the affected system. When successful, RCE can lead to data theft, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or even complete control over the device. It’s a serious threat in cybersecurity, as it can compromise personal and organizational security without the victim's knowledge or consent. Protecting against RCE involves keeping software updated and applying security best practices.
