⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could read sensitive system files, configuration files, or business data, potentially exposing credentials, financial data, or other confidential information.
Likely Case
Privileged users or attackers who gain low-level access could read configuration files or limited business data, compromising data confidentiality.
If Mitigated
With proper access controls and network segmentation, impact is limited to reading only files accessible to the application's service account.
🎯 Exploit Status
