#Windows DHCP Server

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim to read or modify network communications. This is called a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

**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 DHCP Server privileges. As is best practice, regular validation and audits of administrative groups should be conducted.

The following mitigating factors might be helpful in your situation: Customers who have not configured their DHCP server as a failover are not affected by this vulnerability.
