7.8 / 10
HIGH
exploitability
Attack Vector
Local
Attack Vector (AV:L): requires local access. attacker must have shell access or physical login.
Attack Complexity
Low
Attack Complexity (AC:L): no special conditions needed. attack can be reliably reproduced.
Privileges Required
Low
Privileges Required (PR:L): requires basic user-level access.
User Interaction
None
User Interaction (UI:N): no victim action needed. fully exploitable without user interaction.
impact
Scope
Unchanged
Scope (S:U): impact limited to the vulnerable component.
Confidentiality
High
Confidentiality (C:H): total information disclosure. attacker gains access to all data within the component.
Integrity
High
Integrity (I:H): complete data modification possible. attacker can modify any data.
Availability
High
Availability (A:H): total denial of service. attacker can fully shut down the resource.
