"No User Interaction"

Does that mean that paint doesnt have to be running?

Application being installed on a PC allows a specially crafted packet to arbitrarily execute code?

I have my own (related) questions, but I do have theories, that may or may not answer;

0. My gut says this is somehow related to indexing/thumbnail rendering. But maybe I'm off base.

1. The 'no user interaction' could be related to (ironically) some background pre-indexing process that windows is doing on files inserted to folders.

1.1. LOL maybe their bullshit 'Windows Copilot' which is why the description is so vague, don't want to torpedo things worse than they already are.

2. It could also be, still in the category of 'well, ok they click on a share folder and the preview runs' or a weird edge thing.

2.1. But they aren't being that clear yet, probably because it's bad.
