**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 kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** The authentication feature could be bypassed as this vulnerability allows impersonation.

**How can an attacker successfully exploit this vulnerability?** This vulnerability can be exploited when an attacker with admin privileges creates an x509 certificate with an MD5 property, which causes certificate validation to fail with no further validation checks.

**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, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to prepare the target environment to improve exploit reliability.

**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 remote heap memory.

**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.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.

**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. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.

**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.
