The vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 8.5 (HIGH). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). The scope is changed (S:C) with high confidentiality impact (C:H), no integrity impact (I:N), and low availability impact (A:L) (NVD).

The SQL injection vulnerability could allow malicious actors to directly interact with the database, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information, data theft, and possible database manipulation.
