Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to Device Guard fails to correctly validate untrusted files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file and make an unsigned file appear to be signed. Since the Device Guard relies on the signature to determine the file is non-malicious, Device Guard could then allow a malicious file to execute.
