CVE-2023-36046: Windows Authentication Denial of Service Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability does not impact confidentiality (C:N) but has major impact on integrity (I:H) and availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability cannot access existing files (C:N) but can write or overwrite file contents (I:H), which potentially may cause the system to become unavailable (A:H).

CVE-2023-36393: Windows User Interface Application Core Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**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. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.
