**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** An attacker must send the user a malicious input file and convince the user to open said input file.
**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, 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?** In a network-based attack an attacker would need to have the privileges to query the Domain Name Service (DNS). If the timing of DNS queries is perfect, the attacker could execute code remotely on the target server.
**How could an attacker successfully exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could convince a user on the target device to open a maliciously crafted HTA file designed to appear as a legitimately signed WIM file (Windows Imaging Format).
**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 gather information specific to the environment of the targeted component.
**Does this vulnerability affect all versions of TLS?** No. Only those devices running TLS 1.3 are affected. For more information on supported TLS implementations please visit: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthn/protocols-in-tls-ssl--schannel-ssp-

**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.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** The attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim to read or modify network communications. This is called a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
