#Security Vulnerability
**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user (UI:R) into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server database via a connection driver (for example: OLE DB or OLEDB as applicable). This could result in the database returning malicious data that could cause arbitrary code execution on the client.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R) and privileges required are none (PR:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An unauthorized attacker must wait for a user to initiate a connection.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is adjacent (AV:A). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker with LAN access could exploit this vulnerability.
