**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.

Maritime and logistics companies in South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa have become the target of an advanced persistent threat (APT) group dubbed SideWinder. The attacks, observed by Kaspersky in 2024, spread across Bangladesh, Cambodia, Djibouti, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam. Other targets of interest include nuclear power plants and nuclear energy

**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. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the 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.

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

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.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then trigger an event that could exploit the vulnerability and save an invalid state to a database or trigger other unintended actions.

**According to the CVSS metric, the Attack Vector is Physical (AV:P). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker needs physical access to the target computer to plug in a malicious USB drive.

**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.

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