RCE

Remote Code Execution

attackseasy

Remote Code Execution is the ability for an attacker to run arbitrary code on a target system over a network, usually by exploiting a software vulnerability. It is considered the most severe class of vulnerability because it typically gives the attacker full control of the affected machine. Famous worms and major breaches have almost always started with an RCE flaw.
