CVE-2019-0888 | ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
An ActiveX vulnerability (CVE-2019-0888) was discovered that could allow an attacker to run code on the victim’s machine if said victim visited a malicious website.
If your organization blocks ActiveX objects from running in your user’s browsers, that would prevent this vulnerability from being exploited, but we always recommend applying patches ASAP.
CVE-2019-1019 | Microsoft Windows Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the NETLOGON service (CVE-2019-1019) would allow a man-in-the-middle attack to obtain session keys from a user’s logon session, and log into the same target machine as the legitimate user.
