📋 Description

How can an attacker exploit this vulnerability? An authenticated attacker could potentially take advantage of this vulnerability to execute malicious code through the Event Log's Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoint on the server-side.

What is a Remote Procedure Call? Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a communication mechanism that allows computers to communicate with one another over a network. An RPC consists of a procedure identifier, parameters passed to the procedure, and a value returned to the caller (client computer) after the procedure has executed on the remote system (server computer). See Remote procedure call (RPC) for more information.
