What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read some data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- An authorisation check exists but its logic is wrong.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
