The fact that I haven’t heard of any major webservice involuntary taken over so far makes me increasingly skeptical, though I can also attribute it to preemptive action, partially. I presume an exploit chain might come in concert with some other insecure configurations or some malware developed eventually, but it wouldn’t be the first CVE with inflated scores in recent years.
It’s an unauthenticated RCE in very specific circumstances under particular configurations. We haven’t even seen functional exploits in the wild yet.
edit: more info (albeit from a single researcher) here: https://eliastaylor.com/noexploit/
