Original NVD Description

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Shell fails to validate folder shortcuts.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would require unprivileged execution on the victim system. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correctly validating folder shortcuts.
