⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Config Admin users gain full administrative control over the IDRA system, potentially compromising the entire PKI infrastructure and issuing fraudulent certificates.

If Mitigated
With proper role separation and monitoring, exploitation attempts are detected and contained before significant damage occurs.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires Config Admin credentials and precise timing to trigger the race condition. No public exploit code is known.
