Technical Analysis

This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds read in the Microsoft Standard XPS component on Windows 10 Version 1607 and other affected versions. An authorized attacker with low privileges can exploit this flaw locally to disclose sensitive information. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack requires local access, high attack complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality but not integrity or availability.
