CVE-2024-38019: Microsoft Windows Performance Data Helper Library Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?
To successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker or the targeted user would need to achieve a high level of control over a machine, as the attack requires access to processes typically restricted from average users.
Essentially, the exploitation necessitates elevated privileges on the compromised machine due to the requirement of manipulating processes beyond the reach of standard user permissions.
