Analysis Summary

Three security bypass vulnerabilities (CVE-2019-0627, CVE-2019-0631 and CVE-2019-0632) have been found in Microsoft PowerShell Core which could allow an attacker to bypass Device Guard. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these vulnerabilities could circumvent a User Mode Code Integrity (UMCI) policy on the machine.
