The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.3.1. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, user interaction required, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level.

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users, potentially leading to information disclosure, modification of data, or disruption of service. The impact is rated as medium severity with partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. No known active exploitation has been reported.
