Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially allowing theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other malicious actions impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, exploitation requires user interaction (clicking a crafted link). There are no known active exploits reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
