Directly requires validation of the image argument and file type/extension on product_update.php to block unrestricted uploads.
Enforces access-control checks on the product-update function so that unauthenticated remote users cannot reach or misuse the upload path.
Requires malicious-code scanning of uploaded files before they are stored or executed, limiting the impact of an unrestricted upload.
