CVE-2002-1749
Windows 2000 Terminal Services, when using the disconnect feature of the client, does not properly lock itself if it is left idle until the screen saver activates and the user disconnects, which could allow attackers to gain administrator privileges.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.46%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
