**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** The attacker would gain the rights of the user that is running the affected application.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into sending a request to a malicious server. This could result in the server returning malicious data that might cause arbitrary code execution on the user's system.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into sending a request to a malicious server. This could result in the server returning malicious data that might cause arbitrary code execution on the user's system.

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

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker would only be able to delete targeted files on a system.

**According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to no loss of confidentiality (C:N) but have major impact on integrity (I:H) and on availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** This vulnerability does not allow disclosure of any confidential information, but could allow an attacker to delete data that could include data that results in the service being unavailable.

**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 an admin user on the client to connect to a malicious server, and that could allow the attacker to gain code execution on the client.

**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 multiple conditions to be met, such as specific application behavior, user actions, manipulation of parameters passed to a function, and impersonation of an integrity level token.

**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 client to connect to a malicious server, and that could allow the attacker to gain code execution on the client.

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