Incorrect validation of files loaded from a local untrusted directory may allow local privilege escalation if the underlying operating systems is Windows.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.26%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
