💀 **Attacker Capabilities**: With **Low Privileges** (authenticated user), an attacker can execute **arbitrary code**.…

🔓 **Exploitation Threshold**: **Low**. The CVSS vector shows **AV:N** (Network), **AC:L** (Low Complexity), **PR:L** (Low Privileges required), and **UI:N** (No User Interaction).…

📜 **Public Exploit**: **No public PoC/Exploit** currently available in the provided data (POCs array is empty).…
