In essence, an attacker would craft a malicious payload and inject it into any text field within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2023-47030-critical-vulnerability-in-ncr-terminal-handler-allows-remote-code-execution\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"63614\">NCR Terminal Handler<\/a> application that accepts strings. Once the application processes this payload, the attacker gains the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-49132-critical-arbitrary-code-execution-vulnerability-in-pterodactyl-game-server-management-panel\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"63293\">execute arbitrary<\/a> commands within the system.
