CVE-2018-0824Windows — untrusted serialized objects in the component model

Windows mishandles serialized objects in its component object model (COM), so a crafted file or script both raises privilege and runs code. Exploit code has been public since 2018, and the affected list spans Windows 7 and Server 2008 through Windows 10.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Install the May 2018 Windows update, or move the host off a build that no longer receives one — the affected releases reach back to Windows 7 and Server 2008.
