Any webserver you browse is possibly capable of ACE depending on the implementation. When it starts to hold user data is when that starts to be a big concern. The more points of entry, the more that needs to be secured.
I don't have any experience with piefed admin, or any opinion on piefed itself, just too many years of web admin experience. And as soon as I see intentionally made doors that allow code input, I start to worry about how much experience the devs who made it have with web admin.
Booo. Here I was hoping for something serious to spice up the news and it just turns out it's "it runs on a browser".
Sorry, pal. It's a good software.
I'm not a spice merchant, and most exploits rarely involve a single step. This screenshot is just a system design red flag.
You're free to examine the repo yourself and find your own spice, my 5 min look tells me that piefed needs to expend a significant amount of effort on infosec to maintain user trust in the longer term.
