Likely Case
Data exfiltration from the CSA database, modification of configuration settings, and potential credential harvesting from stored data.
If Mitigated
Limited impact due to network segmentation, admin account restrictions, and database permission limitations.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires admin credentials but SQL injection techniques are well-documented and easily weaponized once discovered.
