Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.20%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

An unauthenticated attacker could use the credentials to access the WLAN service if the configuration file has been retrieved from the device by leveraging another known vulnerability.
