* **No user interaction** β once triggered, no one has to click anything π
ββοΈ
* **Scope: Changed** β compromise can spread beyond the vulnerable module π
### 𧨠Impact
* **Confidentiality: High** β data exposure risk π
* **Integrity: Moderate/High** β unauthorized changes possible βοΈ
* **Availability: Moderate** β operations can be disrupted β οΈ
### π· CVSS Score
π₯ **9.1 / 10 β Critical**
