An attacker with valid credentials can inject arbitrary commands through the application interface to achieve remote code execution with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). The scope is changed (S:C), indicating the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component.
