#Security Vulnerability

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** This vulnerability could disclose sensitive information, which might include a user's full trust token.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of NTLM hashes.

Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors might be helpful in your situation: The Windows message queuing service, which is a Windows component, needs to be enabled for a system to be exploitable by this vulnerability. This feature can be added via the Control Panel. You can check to see if there is a service running named **Message Queuing** and TCP port 1801 is listening on the machine.

**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.

Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors might be helpful in your situation: This vulnerability is not exploitable in NFSV2.0 or NFSV3.0. Prior to updating your version of Windows that protects against this vulnerability, you can mitigate an attack by disabling NFSV4.1. This could adversely affect your ecosystem and should only be used as a temporary mitigation. **Warning** You should NOT apply this mitigation unless you have installed the May 2022 Windows security updates. Those updates address CVE-2022-26937 which is a Critical vulnerability in NFSV2.0 and NFSV3.0. The following PowerShell command will disable those versions: PS C:\Set-NfsServerConfiguration -EnableNFSV4 $false After running the command, you will need to restart NFS server or reboot the machine. To restart NFS server, start a **cmd** window with...

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** When Windows Message Queuing service is running in a PGM Server environment, an attacker could send a specially crafted file over the network to achieve remote code execution and attempt to trigger malicious code.

**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** Yes, the Preview Pane is an attack vector.

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

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** The user would have to click on a specially crafted URL to be compromised by the attacker.

**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.
