In a kinetic warfare or authoritarian context, this is rather a life safety vulnerability. In the industry, we call this the crossover from Information Security (InfoSec) to Operational Security (OpSec), where a digital flaw becomes a Kinetic Threat.

For sure it's a weakness and would score higher if the purpose of the technology were military. But since this is a civilian application and not military, it doesn't seem sensible to rate vulnerabilities according to military use. The intended scope of the application makes a huge difference legally and operationally and should be triaged accordingly.
