Exposure
- Identify affected Microsoft products and compare local builds with the MSRC advisory.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · The MSRC product/build mapping establishes applicability. · Rule microsoft-enterprise
- Identify endpoints reporting this CVE, especially those used for email and web browsing.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A network vector that needs user interaction points at user-facing client software. · Rule user-interaction-client
Exploitation evidence
- Review the advisory's documented behavior on matching hosts before selecting a hunt.Telemetry: DeviceProcessEvents · Product family alone does not justify a CVE-specific detection. · Rule microsoft-enterprise
