Most hacks are a combination of a hacker doing something (eg sending an email) and the combination of getting the user to do something.
An mmc file isn’t just sent and you definitely shouldn’t open it. So the hacker is more successful if the recipient is either ignorant (no common sense) or if the temptation is so great that an informed person also takes the bait.
Of course, there are also hacks on systems that are connected to the Internet and are prone to zero days / remote execution, whether they enter through a back door, bot, malware or the like.
From Microsoft’s point of view, it is only logical that they say that they have solved something (which is also good for creating images, but also necessary for users), but what exactly is the effect, which despite the CVE score, it is difficult to say. every person and group.
@amogob 2 : a firewall blocks incoming traffic. If you are already infected and communicating through a known IP port, outgoing traffic will always be able to receive a response. This is how all firewalls are set up. I assume you can browse on that PC so the saying applies: if you can get out, someone else can get in too.
