- Attack vector: network, low attack complexity, no privileges and no user interaction required.
- Impact: authentication bypass, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability.

- CVSS v3.1 base score: 9.8 (Critical)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: update Jupiter X Core to a release later than 4.61.0 as soon as the vendor provides one. A specific fixed version was not confirmed in the sources reviewed. Check the vendor and the Wordfence entry for the current fixed version.
