**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**What privileges could an attacker gain?** 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.

**According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** In this case, a successful attack could be performed from a low privilege AppContainer. The attacker could elevate their privileges and execute code or access resources at a higher integrity level than that of the AppContainer execution environment.

**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**What type of privileges could an attacker gain through this vulnerability?** An attacker could use this vulnerability to elevate privileges from Low Integrity Level in a contained ("sandboxed") excution environment to escalate to a Medium Integrity Level or a High Integrity Level.

**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute RPC functions that are restricted to local clients only.

**What privileges could an attacker gain?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain specific limited SYSTEM privileges.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** This vulnerability is subject to a local escalation of privilege attack. The attacker would most likely arrange to run an executable or script on the local computer. An attacker could gain access to the computer through a variety of methods, such as via a phishing attack where a user clicks an executable file that is attached to an email.

**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.
