**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). 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.

SQL Data Quality Services enables you to build a knowledge base and use it to perform a variety of critical data quality tasks. The vulnerability is only exploitable if this optional feature is enabled and running on an SQL instance. Additionally, the feature is not available in Azure SQL instances.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N), privileges required is high (PR:H) and the user interaction is none (UI:N). How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** The attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could target the server accounts in an arbitrary or remote code execution. As an authenticated admin, the attacker could attempt to trigger malicious code in the context of the server's account through a network call.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** Yes, the Preview Pane is an attack vector.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What privileges are needed by the attacker and how are they used in the context of the remote code execution?** To successfully exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have EdgeUser access. The EdgeUser is the core user used to perform management operations on the DBG device. They can perform actions like modifying network settings, configuring web proxy, configure cloud connectivity, shutdown/restart the appliance and trigger DBG updates via side-load mechanism and even factory reset the appliance (factory reset is an operation which wipes existing data and brings the appliance to a factory default state).

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker could attack a Microsoft Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) Server by sending specially crafted malicious PEAP packets over the network.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via OLEDB, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.

**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. The Microsoft Store will not automatically install this update for those customers. You can get the update through the store by following this guide: Get updates for apps and games in Microsoft Store. Be sure to select the tab for the operating system installed on your device to search for updates.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to compromise admin credentials on the device.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker could attack a Microsoft Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) Server by sending specially crafted malicious PEAP packets over the network.
