The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 6.9 and a severity rating of MEDIUM. The CVSS vector is CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X.
Defensive priority
Medium priority should be given to patching or mitigating this vulnerability, as it allows for limited file disclosure and has a MEDIUM severity rating.
Recommended defensive actions
- Apply the patch or update to version 3.2.1 or later
- Restrict access to the lang query parameter
- Monitor for suspicious activity
- Perform inventory checks for affected versions
- Consider compensating controls such as web application firewalls
