**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker would only be able to delete targeted files on a system. They would not gain privileges to view or modify file contents.
**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.
**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the attacker or targeted user to have specific elevated privileges. As is best practice, regular validation and audits of administrative groups should be conducted.

**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.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authorized attacker could exploit the Windows Bluetooth driver vulnerability by programmatically running certain functions that could lead to elevation of privilege on the Bluetooth component.
**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 take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.
**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, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a Hyper-V guest to affect the functionality of the Hyper-V host.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
