It doesn't sounds like any security boundary is being crossed.

If you can edit that file I'm guessing you can also modify the other
game files (executables, libraries, etc.), so there is no escalation
of privilege as far as I can tell. If the ifle is owned by a unique
user (e.g. it's a local config thing) again, if you can edit a users
files you already have access, so no escalation of privilege. If this
is correct then I will not be assigning a CVE.
