An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use the sandbox escape to elevate privileges on an affected system.\nTo exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system, and then run a specially crafted application to take control over the affected system.\nThe security update addresses the vulnerability by preventing sandboxed processes from creating reparse points targeting inaccessible files.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:L","score":7.9},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/154192/Microsoft-Windows-SET_REPARSE_POINT_EX-Mount-Point-Security-Feature-Bypass.html","https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2019-1170","http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/154192/Microsoft-Windows-SET_REPARSE_POINT_EX-Mount-Point-Security-Feature-Bypass.html","https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2019-1170"],"products":["microsoft:windows_10","microsoft:windows_server_2016","microsoft:windows_server_2019"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:58:11.797917892+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-1170","score":0.02433,"percentile":0.84262,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
