Out-of-bounds read in Windows Hyper-V allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.
AnalysisAI
Local code execution in Microsoft Windows Hyper-V stems from an out-of-bounds read condition (CWE-122 heap-based buffer overflow) that an attacker with high privileges on a guest or host context can leverage to break confidentiality, integrity, and availability boundaries. The CVSS 8.2 score is elevated by a scope change (S:C), indicating the flaw enables crossing the hypervisor isolation boundary. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Hyper-V is Microsoft's Type-1 hypervisor that partitions hardware into isolated virtual machines, with the host (root partition) managing guest (child) partitions through VMBus and synthetic device interfaces. The CWE-122 classification points to a heap-based buffer overflow, specifically an out-of-bounds read where the hypervisor or a VM worker process reads beyond an allocated heap buffer. Such flaws in Hyper-V commonly arise in synthetic device emulation, VMBus message parsing, or memory management code paths where guest-controlled data influences buffer offsets, which combined with the scope change (S:C) in the CVSS vector strongly suggests the bug enables guest-to-host or cross-partition impact.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory - consult the Microsoft Security Update Guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-47652 for the exact KB articles and cumulative update versions that apply to each affected Windows and Windows Server release, then deploy via Windows Update, WSUS, or Microsoft Update Catalog as appropriate for your patching cadence. As a compensating control where patching must be delayed, restrict which principals hold administrator rights inside guest VMs and on the host (since PR:H is required), and on multi-tenant hosts consider temporarily migrating sensitive workloads onto dedicated hosts to reduce blast radius from a hypothetical guest escape - the trade-off is operational overhead and potential service disruption during live migration. Disabling Hyper-V is not a practical workaround for hosts whose primary function is virtualization.
