        http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-6674
        
        Although the vulnerability level score is medium, the fact that the attacker
        needs access to the physical machine with Admin privileges makes the risk of an
        exploitation generally low." [1]


MITIGATION
