The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to send specially crafted network requests from the Bing server infrastructure. By exploiting this, an attacker can bypass network security controls to access internal resources or metadata services, leading to a full elevation of privilege. The vulnerability is reachable over the network without user interaction and has been assigned a CVSS score of 10.0 due to its potential for total impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. As an exclusively hosted service, Microsoft typically manages the remediation on the backend.
