A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to spoof and redirect Internet traffic from legitimate locations.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
