Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Access Control
Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
If privileges are not dropped, neither are access rights of the user. Often these rights can be prevented from being dropped.

Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity; Hide Activities
If privileges are not dropped, in some cases the system may record actions as the user which is being impersonated rather than the impersonator.
