A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Microsoft Defender improperly handles specific buffers. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability to trigger warnings and false positives when no threat is present. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first require execution permissions on the victim system. The security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring Microsoft Defender properly handles these buffers.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
