#vulnerability

**What does the security update provide to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability?** The security update will prevent untrusted Microsoft Saved Console (MSC) files from being opened to protect customers against the risks associated with this vulnerability.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted protocol message to a Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) server, which could lead to remote code execution (RCE) on the RAS server machine.

**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?** This attack requires an admin user on the client to connect to a malicious server, and that could allow the attacker to gain code execution on the client.

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

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** In the case of a Remote Desktop connection, an attacker with control of a Remote Desktop Server could trigger a remote code execution (RCE) on the RDP client machine when a victim connects to the attacking server with the vulnerable Remote Desktop Client.

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

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could create or delete files in the security context of the “NT AUTHORITY\\ LOCAL SERVICE” account.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could trick Windows Code Integrity Guard (CIG) into trusting the file the attacker altered to contain arbitrary content bypassing CIG integrity checks.

**here is the question** here is the answer

**Why are there no links to an update or instructions with steps that must be taken to protect from this vulnerability?** This vulnerability has already been fully mitigated by Microsoft. There is no action for users of this service to take. This purpose of this CVE is to provide further transparency.
