**According the CVSS score, privileges required is set to High. In this case, what does that mean?** To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker or targeted user would need specific elevated privileges. As is best practice, regular validation and audits of administrative groups should be conducted.
**Why is Attack Complexity marked as High for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.
**Why is Attack Complexity marked as High for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.

**According to the CVSS, User Interaction is Required. What interaction would the user have to do?** This vulnerability requires that a user with an affected version of Windows access a malicious server. An attacker would have to host a specially crafted server share or website. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit this specially crafted server share or website, but would have to convince them to visit the server share or website, typically by way of an enticement in an email or chat message.
**Why is Attack Complexity marked as High for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.
**According to the CVSS score, the attack vector is Local. 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.
**Why is Attack Complexity marked as High for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.
