MITRE ATT&CK

1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Impact

Can lead to privilege escalation, data corruption, or bypassing of security checks depending on the context of the race. With a CVSS score of 7.4 (HIGH), this represents a significant risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker exploits a time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) window to modify a resource between when it's validated and when it's used.

This Week Schedule remediation this week. Why: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9).

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 16, 2026

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Capability Access Management Service (camsvc) allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Mar 16, 2026 - 04:21 CVSS 7.4

RemediationAI

Use proper synchronization mechanisms (locks, mutexes, atomic operations). Implement file locking for filesystem operations. Avoid TOCTOU patterns.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2025-49690 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Windows Capability Access Management Service (camsvc) exploitable through a race condition, enabling unauthorized attackers with local system access to gain elevated privileges. This directly impacts any Windows user with local logon capabilities and could enable lateral movement, persistence, or full system compromise if exploited post-breach.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. Until patching is complete: restrict local logon access through Group Policy (disable local administrator accounts where feasible), monitor and alert on camsvc service anomalies or repeated privilege escalation attempts, and limit user elevation through UAC enforcement.

Attack Technique

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Race conditions occur when multiple concurrent requests exploit the brief time gap between checking a condition and acting upon it (TOCTOU - Time of Check, Time of Use).
