What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Exploitation of this vulnerability does not disclose any confidential information but allows an attacker to modify or delete files containing data which could cause the service to become unavailable.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker is required to compromise the credential of a victim who has been assigned the role of “Cluster Admin” or “Cluster Operator” by an administrator prior to attempting to exploit the vulnerability.
