#vulnerability

**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.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass Visual Studio Code sensitive file protections.

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows Kernel allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

No cwe for this issue in Windows Administrator Protection allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Improper neutralization of special elements used in a command ('command injection') in Visual Studio allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.

Insertion of sensitive information into log file in Windows License Manager allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.

Use after free in Windows Broadcast DVR User Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Improper privilege management in Microsoft Streaming Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker with access to any user account assigned the built-in CMPivot Administrator security role could exploit this vulnerability by escalating privileges. Specifically, they could assign themselves—or another account—the Full Administrator role (or any other elevated role), or modify existing role permissions. This would allow them to bypass intended security boundaries and gain unrestricted access across the hierarchy.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N), user interaction is required (UI:R), and privileges required are none (PR:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Exploitation of this vulnerability requires an unauthorized attacker to wait for a user to initiate a connection to a malicious server that the attacker has set up prior to the user connecting.
