This could lead to remote escalation of privilege if a malicious Wi-Fi AP is used, with no additional execution privileges needed.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.21%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
