FAQ
How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?
An authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability by triggering remote code execution (RCE) on the server via a Remote Desktop connection. Alternatively, an authenticated attacker could trigger guest-to-host RCE via a malicious program by connecting to the host using MMC.
According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?
This vulnerability could lead to a browser sandbox escape.
According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?
This attack requires an admin user on the client to connect to a malicious server, and that could allow the attacker to gain code execution on the client.
