Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-39678, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 4.3) affecting cooked, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
