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. No user interaction is required. The scope is changed, meaning a successful attack can affect components beyond the vulnerable one. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity low, availability none.
CVSS metrics in full
The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N
- 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: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
- Scope: Changed — a successful attack reaches components beyond the vulnerable one.
- Confidentiality impact: None.
- Integrity impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
- Availability impact: None.
