It is possible for a user with appropriate privileges to create, modify, and execute scripting tasks without use of the UI or API.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.71%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
