A post-auth memory corruption vulnerability scores a CVSS 10. Shellshock got like a 9.5. These scores don't mean anything.

You can imagine a post-auth Redis vulnerability being deceptively well-exposed, because web apps often give partial control of the Redis key space to attackers, and don't care how long you make your strings. But this one is a UAF that requires attackers to send a malicious Lua script.
