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).

Red Hat CVSS v3 Score Explanation
C:L, I:L, because - there is some loss of confidentiality. Access and modification to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker could not have control over what information could be obtained and modified. The amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure and modification could not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
