DescriptionCVE.org

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Bind Filter Driver allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in the Windows Bind Filter Driver, a kernel-mode component present in Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025, stems from a heap-based buffer overflow that enables a locally authenticated user with standard privileges to gain SYSTEM-level control over the affected host. Affected builds span Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1, as well as Windows Server 2025 including Server Core installations, with patched builds confirmed by Microsoft via MSRC advisory CVE-2026-62722. …
