Summary
Impact: Spoofing. Microsoft rating: Moderate. Not known to be exploited — Exploitation Less Likely. Customer action: Required.
Details
According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R) and privileges required is Low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?
An authorized attacker with low privileges creates a scheduled task that is set to run when a user logs on and spoofs interfaces that belong to many services so the victim can connect to the attacker's server instead of the original.
According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of confidentiality (C:L),but lead to no loss of availability (A:N) and integrity (I:N)? What does that mean for this vulnerability?
An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view some sensitive information (Confidentiality) but not all resources within the impacted component may be divulged to the attacker. The attacker cannot make changes to disclosed information (Integrity) or limit access to the resource (Availability).
