Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows Vista SP2 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1 Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 Microsoft Windows 8 Microsoft Windows 8.1 Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2 Microsoft Windows RT Gold and 8.1 Microsoft Windows 10

Description The issue allows local users to bypass intended filesystem restrictions and delete arbitrary files. It is related to insufficient access restrictions to certain functions in the Task Scheduler. An attacker who successfully exploits this could run arbitrary code in the security context of the local system, potentially allowing them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights. To exploit this, an attacker would first have to log on to the system.

For Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows 8, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows 8.1, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows RT Gold and 8.1, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. For Microsoft Windows 10, update to a newer version that includes the fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Task Scheduler to minimize the risk of exploitation.
