According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability? Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment. According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do? The user would have to click on a specially crafted URL to be compromised by the attacker. According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of integrity (I:L)? What does that mean for this vulnerability? The attacker is only able to modify the content of the vulnerable link to redirect the victim to a malicious site. Why is the severity for this CVE rated as Moderate, but the CVSS score is higher than normal? Per our severity guidelines, the amount of user interaction or preconditions required to allow this sort of exploitation downgraded the severity, specifically it says, "If a bug requires more than a click, a key press, or several preconditions, the severity will be downgraded". The CVSS scoring system doesn't allow for this type of nuance.
