#Security Vulnerability

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read portions of heap memory.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** A user needs to be tricked into running malicious files.

Use after free in Microsoft Office allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

**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.

Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('command injection') in Azure Command Line Integration (CLI) allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Improper neutralization in Microsoft Management Console allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

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

Uncontrolled search path element in Visual Studio Code allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

**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.
