Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The Okta Verify for Windows uninstaller does not verify whether the user data directory is a filesystem junction before deleting its contents with elevated privileges. The delete operation follows the junction target, resulting in recursive deletion of unintended directory contents.
