The attack vector is network-based (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring no privileges (PR:N) but needs user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C) with low impacts on both confidentiality and integrity (C:L, I:L) and no impact on availability (A:N) (NVD).
Impact
When successfully exploited, the vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the victim's browser, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information and manipulation of web content. The impact is characterized by low confidentiality and integrity breaches, with no direct impact on system availability (Esri Advisory).
