The CVSS vector string is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, indicating that the vulnerability can be exploited over the network, requires low attack complexity, needs no privileges or user interaction, and can result in high impacts to both confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) (GitHub Advisory).

Impact

The vulnerability could result in unauthorized access to affected applications. The high CVSS scores for both confidentiality and integrity (H) indicate that attackers could potentially gain access to sensitive information and modify data within the application scope (GitHub Advisory).
