However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force a user to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince a user to take action, typically by an enticement in an email or instant message, or by getting the user to open an attachment sent through email.
According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to major loss of confidentiality (C:H) but have no effect on integrity (I:N) or on availability (A:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?
An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view sensitive information (Confidentiality). While the attacker can not make changes to disclosed information (Integrity) and limit access to the resource (Availability).
According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to gather information specific to the environment and take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.
