While this vulnerability can be initiated by the role shown in "Required Privilege", successful exploitation requires a privileged user to perform an action — such as clicking a malicious link, visiting a crafted page, or submitting a form.
This could allow a malicious actor to directly interact with your database, including but not limited to stealing information.
CVSS score is a way to evaluate and rank reported vulnerabilities in a standardized and repeatable way but which is not ideal for WordPress.
This security issue has a low severity impact and is unlikely to be exploited.
