CVE-2002-2028
The screensaver on Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and 2002 does not verify if a domain account has already been locked when a valid password is provided, which makes it easier for users with physical access to conduct brute force password guessing.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.97%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
