CVE-2017-0215: Microsoft Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2016 allow an attacker to exploit a security feature bypass vu...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a Windows security feature bypass affecting Device Guard on Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2016. If exploited, an attacker could inject malicious code into a Windows PowerShell session, weakening code integrity protections that organizations may rely on to restrict untrusted code. Exposure is most relevant where Windows 10 1607 or Windows Server 2016 systems use Device Guard or code integrity policies as a control boundary. The bundle does not identify other affected products or versions. Prioritize if the organization still operates the named Windows versions and depends on Device Guard to contain untrusted code. Lower urgency if those systems are absent or already remediated under Microsoft guidance. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MSRC guidance for CVE-2017-0215 and apply vendor-recommended updates or actions.; Inventory Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2016 systems using Device Guard policies.; Do not rely on Device Guard alone as the only control around privileged PowerShell activity..
