Description

The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing security updates. They are, therefore, affected by a tampering vulnerability. The vulnerability exists when the Python Tools for Visual Studio creates the python27 folder. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context.
