About this tag
The tag 'crafted application' refers to a specially designed program used in security vulnerabilities that affect Microsoft Windows and Silverlight. Discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on security updates such as MS16-098, MS15-090, MS15-049, and MS12-042, which address elevation of privilege vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities require an attacker to log on to an affected system and run a crafted application, or convince a user to open a crafted file, to gain elevated access. The tag covers security bulletins from 2012 to 2016, highlighting the importance of applying updates to protect against local privilege escalation attacks.
