Comment:
Why is it a defect?
Why NetworkService? It's not about the network. It's "Microsoft network" (
or domain).
LocalService vs NetworkService:
The principals differ in how they handle a service's attempts to access
resources on other Windows computers on the network. A service running
under NetworkService is authenticated to other computers on the network by
using the computer's account in the domain.
(ref.: windowsitpro.com/systems-management/understanding-local-service-
and-network-service-accounts)
It has minimum privileges on the local computer and acts as the computer
on the network... A service that runs in the context of the NetworkService
account presents the computer's credentials to remote Windows servers.
