A local user without administrator privilege can configure a physical file trigger to execute with the privileges of a user socially engineered to access the target file. The correction is to require administrator privilege to configure trigger support.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `i = 7.2`\n- `i = 7.3`\n- `i = 7.4`\n- `i = 7.5`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"midnight","depthScore":53,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":40.7,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
