When the installation directory does not have sufficiently restrictive file permissions, an attacker can modify files in the installation directory to cause execution of malicious code.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.18%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
