Component: Not specified by the source

Attack conditions (Vendor/CNA, CVSS 3.1): Network (remote) · Low privileges required · No user interaction required

What an attacker can do

An authenticated user with subscription deny permissions could bypass a plain subject deny rule by using a queue subscription, because queue-specific deny evaluation could override the plain subject deny result when the queue name itself was not denied. Vendor/CNA’s CVSS 3.1 assessment (base score 6.5/10) rates confidentiality impact as high; integrity and availability impact as none.
