If an attacker gains control of a target computer through some sort of vulnerability, and they also gain the power to execute commands on that remote computer this process is called Remote Code Execution (RCE)
It is one of the cyber-attacks where an attacker can remotely execute commands on someone’s computer
It usually occurs due to malicious malware downloaded by the host and can happen regardless of the geographic location of the device.
How is it possible ?
With RCE, hackers can edit or destroy important files, steal confidential data, perform DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, and compromise the entire system.
