CVE-2017-0295
Microsoft Windows 10 1607 and 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allow an authenticated attacker to modify the C:\Users\DEFAULT folder structure, aka "Windows Default Folder Tampering Vulnerability".
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
