My suspicion is that someone intercepted the POST request, modified it and sent to your backend. If you do not validate the input then you have a problem [CWE-20: Improper Input Validation](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/20.html). I play like that everyday 🕶 To bad the voting is disabled now and I can’t check it.

Props for the mysterious voter 😃
