#Security Vulnerability

**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 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. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must be authenticated to the target site, with the permission to use Manage Lists within SharePoint.

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

**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?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could view heap memory from a privileged process running on the server.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated 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, the attack vector is network (AV:N), and privilege required is low (PR:N), and user interaction is none (UI:N). What is the target used in the context of the remote code execution?** The attacker for this vulnerability could target the server accounts in an arbitrary or remote code execution and attempt to trigger malicious code in the context of the server's account through a network call. The attacker needs no privileges nor does the victim user need to perform and action.

**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.
