#Security Vulnerability

**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.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the attacker or targeted user to have specific elevated privileges. Only users with roles “Cluster Admin” and “Cluster Operator” can access this.

**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.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via ODBC, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could view heap memory from a privileged process running on the server.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could view heap memory from a privileged process running on the server.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** The type of information that could be disclosed if an attacker successfully exploited this vulnerability is uninitialized memory.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** The type of information that could be disclosed if an attacker successfully exploited this vulnerability is uninitialized memory.

**What security feature is being bypassed?** An attacker with a machine-in-the-middle (MitM) position who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass the certificate validation performed when a targeted user connects to a trusted server.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** Exploitation of the vulnerability requires the victim to open a specially crafted file and click through Office Security Prompt(s). An attacker would have no way to force users to open the file., * In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. * In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability.
