I’m cleaning this cabinet above the range/micro and noticed this mark on the back. I mostly keep cooking oils, vinegars, etc in here. Does this look serious?

Update: well it ain’t pretty, but it shouldn’t burn the house down. For anyone concerned, my electrician approves. Thank you all for your help today.

    I agree about cutting away the drywall. Easy to fix after, especially since inside a cupboard. I would avoid touching with metal and wear insulated gloves I think.

      It’s an IKEA cabinet with a melamine backing. I’m going to pull the micro and cabinet out and we’ll see what that shows us

        That it’s melamine changes my thinking. Looks like a hot nail but guess it’s not.
        Gonna change my mind to stain or burn.
