**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H) and the privileges required is high (PR:H). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** For a successful exploitation, the attacker would need some key information like ARMID and UUID of the installed agent as pre-requisite.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** This vulnerability could be triggered when a malicious actor spoofs a machine with the same name that a user is searching for.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Any authenticated attacker could trigger this vulnerability. It does not require admin or other elevated privileges.

**What privileges an attacker could gain with a successful exploitation?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain privilege escalation in the processing of .vhdx files in the Windows Kernel.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of stack memory.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.
