I think it depends on the application. It's very unlikely someone will MITM the connection between components on a set of circuit boards in a satellite (the use-case they designed this for)
So with the windows linux subsystem, it might just about run anywhere which could then introduce its own security situation.
It will be interesting to see if the UAC prompt overrides I've seen when using Kali Linux and wireshark as a VMware guest on Win10, will also occur with this code. So the UAC prompt override's is where the Vmware guest network for Kali linux is put into promiscuous mode in order to capture all packets.
Every windows reboot switches off the promiscuous mode and someone on here suggested its Vmware doing this not windows.
Maybe this is the code/tool to see if it is windows or vmware overriding UAC protected settings or not.
