- →Attack vector includes a specially crafted website; monitor for users being directed to attacker-controlled web content via links in email or Instant Messenger messages exploiting the Windows Graphics Component. ↗
- →Attack vector includes specially crafted document files; monitor for suspicious document opens, particularly via email attachments targeting the Windows Graphics Component memory handling. ↗
- →The Preview Pane in affected Microsoft Office products is a valid attack vector; consider disabling or monitoring Preview Pane activity for suspicious graphics content. ↗
- ·Exploitation is rated 'More Likely' for both latest and older software releases, but as of advisory publication the vulnerability had not been publicly disclosed or actively exploited in the wild. ↗
- ·Users with fewer user rights are less impacted; high-privilege accounts (administrative rights) represent the highest-risk targets for this RCE vulnerability. ↗
