An issue in Microvirt MEmu Android Emulator 9.2.7.0 allows a local attacker to escalate privileges via the MemuService.exe component.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Microvirt MEmu Android Emulator 9.2.7.0 allows a low-privileged local user to abuse the MemuService.exe component to gain elevated rights on the host Windows system. Mapped to CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management), with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and an EPSS score of 0.21% indicating low predicted exploitation likelihood. Researcher PoC repository exists on GitHub (sec-zone/CVE-2026-36213) but active exploitation has not been reported.
Technical ContextAI
MEmu is a Windows-based Android emulator from Microvirt that installs a persistent helper service, MemuService.exe, typically running with SYSTEM privileges to manage virtualization, networking, and shared folders for guest Android instances. CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) in this context indicates that the service exposes a control surface - likely an IPC endpoint, named pipe, weak DACL on the service binary/directory, or an unquoted/insecure service path - that a low-privileged local user can interact with to perform operations beyond their authorization level. The CPE entry is unhelpfully populated as 'n/a:n/a', so authoritative product scoping must rely on the vendor name (Microvirt) and the version string (9.2.7.0) given in the description.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - Microvirt has not published an advisory or fixed version through the references provided. Until a fixed build is released, compensating controls include uninstalling MEmu from systems where it is not business-critical (trade-off: loss of Android emulation capability), restricting interactive logon on hosts where MEmu is installed so untrusted local users cannot reach MemuService.exe, and monitoring the MemuService.exe process and its installation directory (typically under %ProgramFiles%\Microvirt\MEmu) for unexpected child processes or file writes by non-admin users. Consult the researcher write-up at https://github.com/sec-zone/CVE-2026-36213 to identify the specific abused interface and consider applying an explicit deny ACL on the affected pipe/binary/service control entry if feasible (trade-off: may break legitimate MEmu functionality).
