How this vulnerability can be exploited
This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs administrative privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity low, availability none.
CVSS metrics in full
The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- Attack vector: Local — a local account, shell or session on the host is needed.
- Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
- Privileges required: High — administrative rights are needed first.
- User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
- Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
- Confidentiality impact: None.
- Integrity impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
- Availability impact: None.
