user action
About this tag
The tag 'user action' appears in Windows security bulletin excerpts and migration documentation, where it labels the recommended step a system administrator should take after encountering an error or before applying a fix. In the context of Active Directory forest preparation, 'user action' directs the admin to verify that all domain controllers run a supported OS version. In security updates for ASP.NET MVC, OpenType fonts, and Windows Media Encoder, the tag points to the user behavior—such as clicking a link or opening a file—that an attacker would rely on to exploit a vulnerability. The tag thus consistently refers to the human action required either to complete a procedure or to avoid an exploit.
