Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-12690, a low vulnerability (CVSS 3.8) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
