**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, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the attacker or targeted user to have specific elevated privileges. As is best practice, regular validation and audits of administrative groups should be conducted.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with normal privileges could send a modified XPS file to a shared printer, which can result in a remote code execution.
**Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?** No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.
**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.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** For successful exploitation, a malicious certificate needs to be imported on an affected system. An attacker could upload a certificate to a service that processes or imports certificates, or an attacker could convince an authenticated user to import a certificate on their system.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with normal privileges could send a modified XPS file to a shared printer, which can result in a remote code execution.
**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.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthorized attacker could exploit the Windows Bluetooth driver vulnerability by programmatically running certain functions that could lead to remote code execution on the Bluetooth component.
**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with normal privileges could send a modified XPS file to a shared printer, which can result in a remote code execution.
