The successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to escalate their privileges and replace arbitrary files on the underlying filesystem, potentially leading to complete system compromise. Given the Critical CVSS score and the ability to manipulate system files, this vulnerability poses a significant security risk to affected FortiSIEM installations (Fortinet PSIRT).
