About this tag
The tag 'cve and cvss' covers discussions about Microsoft's Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) naming conventions and the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) vectors. A key topic is how Microsoft labels vulnerabilities as 'Remote Code Execution' even when the CVSS Attack Vector (AV) is 'Local' (AV:L), meaning the exploit requires local access or user interaction. The tag explores the distinction between the broad CVE title and the detailed CVSS vector, which describes the actual attack path and exploitation conditions. This helps users understand Microsoft's security bulletins and correctly interpret vulnerability severity and impact.
