How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs low-level 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 low, integrity high, availability low.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L

• Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
• Attack complexity: High — the attacker first has to win a race, learn a secret or otherwise prepare the target.
• Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
• User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
• 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: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
