Security specialists should take extra care in reducing the chances of this vulnerability being exploited as depending on its severity it can cause irreversible harm to a network or system. Once an attacker has gained elevated privileges they can bypass security controls, manipulate or delete sensitive data, and if given enough time, establish persistent access to the compromised system.
