It is categorized under CWE-1336, indicating improper neutralization of special elements used in a template engine. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.8, with a medium severity level. The attack complexity is low, requiring network access and high privileges, with user interaction being required.

Remediation

The recommended remediation for this vulnerability is to update the iris-web application to version 2.4.6 or later, as this version contains the necessary patch to address the SSTI vulnerability.
