Details
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.
How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?
To exploit this vulnerability, a remote unauthenticated attacker would need to send specially crafted traffic to a system with the "Nearby Sharing" feature enabled and to convince a user to take specific actions.
According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website or server that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file.
