The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2022-24513, CVE-2022-24765, CVE-2021-43877)

  • A DLL hijacking vulnerability. An authenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-24767)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
