A remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) involving the handling of Microsoft Saved Console (MSC) files. The flaw allows a specially crafted, untrusted MSC file to execute code when opened or loaded by a user on a vulnerable Windows system. Public reporting and vendor guidance indicate the issue was actively exploited in the wild and has been associated with the GrimResource technique. Microsoft’s fix changes MMC behavior to prevent untrusted MSC files from being opened.
