CVE-2022-2995

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
AC:H - because the successful exploitation depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control C:L - because in fact, an attacker has no control over what data will be available and can't get access to any data, only where the negative groups were used. I:L - similarly to Confidentiality.
