Details
According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?
This attack requires a victim to perform a specific action, such as copying files or executing a command, and for an attacker with appropriate access to have pre-planted malicious files with knowledge of where they should be placed on the victim's system.
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 a specially crafted file to be placed either in an online directory or in a local network location. When a victim runs this file, it loads the malicious DLL.
