If the victim is an administrator, an attacker can (for example) take over the admin session or change global settings or add/delete links. It is also possible to execute JavaScript against unauthenticated users.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
