The attacker can connect to a third account to trigger the issue without knowing the password. The security risk of the client-side web vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.1. Exploitation of the client-side cross site vulnerability requires no privileged web-application user account and low or medium user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in non-persistent phishing, session hijacking, non-persistent external redirect to malicious sources and client-side manipulation of affected or connected web module context.
