remote code execution (rce)
Remote code execution (RCE) refers to a vulnerability or attack that allows an attacker to execute malicious code on a target system or device from a remote location, without needing physical access or authorization. This can result in the attacker gaining unauthorized control over the targeted system, potentially causing damage, stealing data, or exploiting further vulnerabilities.
