FAQ

According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is adjacent (AV:A). What does that mean for this vulnerability? Exploiting this vulnerability requires an attacker to be within proximity of the target system to send and receive radio transmissions. How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability? An unauthenticated attacker could project to a vulnerable system on the same wireless network that was configured to allow "Projecting to this PC" and marked as "Available Everywhere". This is not a default configuration.
