The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3, indicating medium severity, with an attack vector of network, low attack complexity, requiring low privileges, no user interaction, and only impacting confidentiality.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized disclosure of personal data belonging to other users of the WooCommerce mobile app. While it does not affect data integrity or availability, the exposure of email addresses, names, and roles can lead to privacy violations and potential further targeted attacks. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
