The remote Windows host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Microsoft Input Method Editor (IME) (Japanese) component that is triggered when loading dictionary files. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, resulting in a sandbox escape and an escalation of privileges in the context of the current user.
