MEDIUM 6.6EPSS 0.11%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.11%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In multiple locations, there is a possible way to alter the primary user's face unlock settings due to a confused deputy. This could lead to physical escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
