Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.93%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

It was found that FreeIPA 4.2.0 and later could disclose password hashes to users having the 'System: Read Stage Users' permission. A remote, authenticated attacker could potentially use this flaw to disclose the password hashes belonging to Stage Users. This security issue does not result in disclosure of password hashes belonging to active standard users. NOTE: some developers feel that this report is a suggestion for a design change to Stage User activation, not a statement of a vulnerability.
