⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise with kernel-level access, allowing installation of persistent malware, data theft, and system manipulation.
Likely Case
Local privilege escalation enabling unauthorized access to sensitive data and system resources.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper access controls and monitoring in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires local access and knowledge of the framework's internal workings.
