This host is missing an important security update according to Microsoft KB5031362. Multiple flaws exist due to a Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Windows MSHTML Platform, an elevation of privilege vulnerability in Windows IIS Server, and an Information Disclosure Vulnerability in Active Directory Domain Services. Successful exploitation will allow an attacker to elevate privileges, execute arbitrary commands, disclose information, bypass security restrictions, spoofing, and conduct DoS attacks
