Microsoft Security Response Center

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** The user would have to click on a specially crafted URL to be compromised by the attacker.

**According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** The vulnerability is in the web server, but the malicious scripts execute in the victim’s browser on their machine.

**Why is the MITRE Corporation the assigning CNA (CVE Numbering Authority)?** CVE-2023-24023 is regarding a vulnerability reported to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG). MITRE assigned this CVE number on behalf of the Bluetooth organization https://www.bluetooth.com/about-us/vision/.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability an attacker would have to inject arbitrary commands to the FTP server.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

**According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability does not impact confidentiality (C:N) but has major impact on integrity (I:H) and availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability cannot access existing files (C:N) but can write or overwrite file contents (I:H), which potentially may cause the system to become unavailable (A:H).

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker could attack a Microsoft Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) Server by sending specially crafted malicious PEAP packets over the network.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). Does the attacker need to be in an authenticated role on the Exchange Server?** Yes, the attacker must be authenticated with LAN-access and have credentials for a valid Exchange user.

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

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