About this tag
The msrc guidance tag covers Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) terminology and how Microsoft classifies vulnerabilities in CVE titles. A recurring theme is the distinction between a CVE title's impact class, such as Remote Code Execution, and the CVSS attack vector, which may indicate local exploitation. The tag explains that MSRC labels describe what an attacker can achieve, while CVSS details how the attack occurs.

The content focuses on clarifying MSRC naming conventions for better understanding of vulnerability severity and exploitation context.
