**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.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H) and privileges required are low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker must gain access to the victim user's Microsoft Outlook account by compromising or stealing their login credential and then install a malicious form prior to exploiting the vulnerability successfully.
