**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** The attacker, initially a non-admin user on the host, could hijack the PowerShell Direct session intended for communication between the admin user on host and a guest VM. This unauthorized access enables the attacker to impersonate the admin host user in communications with the guest, potentially manipulating or controlling guest-side operations.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could elevate their user privileges from those of a restrained user to an unrestrained WDAC user.
**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R) and privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authorized attacker with standard user privileges could place a malicious file and then wait for the privileged victim to run the calling command.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could elevate their user privileges from those of a restrained user to an unrestrained WDAC user.
**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could elevate their user privileges from those of a restrained user to an unrestrained WDAC user.
**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 take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.
**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker that successfully exploited this vulnerability could recover plaintext passwords and usernames from log files.
