Two vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-46369, CVE-2025-46367) are classified as "high" threat level. However, vulnerabilities are only exploitable if attackers already have low user privileges. If this is the case, they can escalate their privileges or even execute malicious code. Attackers then typically gain full control over systems.
By successfully exploiting the remaining vulnerabilities, information can leak. The developers assure that version 6.10.15.0 has been secured against the described attacks. All previous versions are said to be vulnerable.
