DescriptionCVE.org

Relative path traversal in Windows Admin Center allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows Admin Center allows an authenticated attacker to run arbitrary code over the network by exploiting a relative path traversal (CWE-23) flaw. Any user holding valid low-privilege credentials to the WAC gateway can leverage the traversal to break out of the intended file path and achieve full compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact all High). Microsoft has published a patch via MSRC; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
