Windows NTFS Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.34% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.9612; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.9612; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.9376.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.9612; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.9612; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.9376 or later.
