Microsoft CVE-2018-8209: Windows Wireless Network Profile Information Disclosure Vulnerability
Description
An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Windows allows a normal user to access the Wireless LAN profile of an administrative user. An authenticated attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could access the Wireless LAN profile of an administrative user, including passwords for wireless networks. An attacker would need to log on to the affected system and run a specific command. The security update addresses the vulnerability by changing the way that Windows enforces access permissions to Wireless LAN profiles.
