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 hijack a session of a higher privileged user. Once the session is hijacked, the malicious actor can gain full control of the website.
CVSS score is a way to evaluate and rank reported vulnerabilities in a standardized and repeatable way but which is not ideal for WordPress.
