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

Use after free in Connected Devices Platform Service (Cdpsvc) allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor in Windows Kernel allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** A user interacting with the file in multiple ways will cause the NTLM hash to be leaked. A few interactions which trigger this leak include: * Opening the parent folder in Explorer * Clicking the file (any mouse button) * Dragging the file * Deleting the file

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Data Sharing Service Client allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing locally.

Improper access control in Software Protection Platform (SPP) allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

**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.

**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, 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.

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