The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No vendor patch or official remediation is currently documented.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to inject persistent malicious scripts into web pages served by the vulnerable plugin. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure and integrity impacts within the scope of the affected site. The vulnerability does not impact availability. There are no known active exploits reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
