Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to local escalation of privilege, meaning an attacker with local access could gain higher system privileges.

Specifically, exploitation could result in the attacker obtaining System execution privileges, which would allow full control over the affected system.

User interaction is not required for exploitation, increasing the risk if an attacker already has local access.
