This host is missing a critical security update according to Microsoft KB5005040. Multiple flaws exist due to errors in Windows MSHTML Platform, Windows GDI, Windows Kernel Memory, Windows Address Book, and Windows Remote Assistance. Successful exploitation will allow an attacker to conduct DoS, bypass security restrictions, perform remote code execution, gain access to potentially sensitive data, conduct spoofing, and elevate privileges. Affected systems include Microsoft Windows 10 for 32-bit and x64-based Systems. The vendor has released updates. For more information, refer to the provided links
