**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.

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

**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.

**Why is the MITRE Corporation the assigning CNA (CVE Numbering Authority)?** CVE-2022-35737 is regarding a vulnerability in SQLite. MITRE assigned this CVE number on behalf of the SQLite organization. Microsoft has included the updated library in Windows that addresses this vulnerability.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** A user needs to be tricked into running malicious files.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?** An authenticated victim who is connected to the network must be tricked or persuaded to connect to a malicious SQL database using their SQL client application. After the connection is made, the server can send specially crafted replies to the client that exploit the vulnerability and permit execution of arbitrary code within the context of the user's SQL client application.

**What privileges an attacker could gain with a successful exploitation?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain privilege escalation in the processing of .vhdx files in the Windows Kernel.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.

Traditional vulnerability management uses a singular “patch all things” approach that is ineffective and costly. It’s time we shifted to adopting appropriate risk-based approaches that consider more than an exclusive focus on patching security issues. Organizations are increasingly called upon to navigate a complex cybersecurity landscape which is more than just potential threats and attacks. It also includes the complexity and sheer volume of software. This requires going beyond “security by compliance” and utilizing comprehensive risk assessment, appropriate prioritization of resou
