Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as a Broken Access Control issue (CWE-862) with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 8.3 (High). The vulnerability vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H, indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction needed, and potential for high impact on integrity and availability with low confidentiality impact (Patchstack Database).

Exploitability

The vulnerability requires subscriber-level privileges to exploit, making it accessible to authenticated users with minimal access rights. The low attack complexity and network vector make it particularly concerning for potential exploitation (Patchstack Database).
