What this means for your business

• It affects Microsoft Visual Studio 2017. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
• An attacker can use it only with access to the machine itself, with an ordinary user login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.
• FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.9% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 57% of all known flaws.

What to do
