2) Security restrictions bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU60395

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22754

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

4) Sandbox restrictions bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU60406

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22759

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
