How this vulnerability can be exploited
This issue can be reached from an adjacent network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is changed, meaning a successful attack can affect components beyond the vulnerable one. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity high, availability high.
CVSS metrics in full
The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:H
- Attack vector: Adjacent network — the attacker has to sit on the same local or logical network.
- Attack complexity: High — the attacker first has to win a race, learn a secret or otherwise prepare the target.
- Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
- User interaction: Required — someone has to click, open or visit something.
- Scope: Changed — a successful attack reaches components beyond the vulnerable one.
- Confidentiality impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
- Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
- Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
