How this vulnerability can be exploited
This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity low, availability none.
CVSS metrics in full
The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
- Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
- Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
- User interaction: Required — someone has to click, open or visit something.
- Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
- Confidentiality impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
- Integrity impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
- Availability impact: None.
