This CVE record has been updated after NVD enrichment efforts were completed. Enrichment data supplied by the NVD may require amendment due to these changes.
Current Description
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows Core Shell COM Server Registrar improperly handles COM calls. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially set certain items to run at a higher level and thereby elevate permissions.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system.
The update addresses this vulnerability by correcting unprotected COM calls.
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows Core Shell COM Server Registrar improperly handles COM calls, aka 'Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2019-1173, CVE-2019-1174, CVE-2019-1175, CVE-2019-1177, CVE-2019-1178, CVE-2019-1179, CVE-2019-1180, CVE-2019-1186.
