What interaction would the user have to do?** Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft OneNote and then click on a specially crafted URL to be compromised by the attacker.

**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 data inside the targeted website like IDs, tokens, nonces, and other sensitive information.

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

**How do I get the update for a Windows App?** The Microsoft Store will automatically update affected customers. It is possible for customers to disable automatic updates for the Microsoft Store.

Note that Process Monitor is only available as part of an MSIX package called Sysinternals Suite.

A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft .NET Framework fails to properly validate input before loading libraries. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first need to access the local system with the ability to execute a malicious application. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how .NET validates input on library load.
