Unauthenticated network-facing QUIC handler (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N) with full impact, but AC:H because reliable use-after-free RCE requires heap grooming and race timing versus a simple crash.

DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Microsoft QUIC allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Microsoft's QUIC transport implementation (MsQuic) allows an unauthenticated network attacker to run arbitrary code by triggering a use-after-free (CWE-416) in the QUIC protocol handler across supported Windows 11 (23H2/24H2/25H2/26H1) and Windows Server 2022/2025 builds. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) rates it 9.8 Critical, reflecting no authentication or user interaction and full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target host be running and reachable on a Microsoft QUIC listener - i.e., an unpatched Windows 11 (23H2-26H1) or Windows Server 2022/2025 system with a QUIC-based service enabled and exposed, such as HTTP/3 in IIS/edge services or SMB over QUIC (typically UDP/443). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine high-priority issue rather than an inflated high-CVSS score: the CVSS 3.1 vector is fully remote and unauthenticated with low attack complexity (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and complete C/I/A impact, and the flaw sits in a network-facing OS transport component on widely deployed Windows platforms. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the Microsoft security update that raises each affected build to at least the fixed version listed in the EUVD data (Vendor-released patch confirmed available): Windows 11 23H2 to 10.0.22631.7517, 24H2 to 10.0.26100.9168, 25H2 to 10.0.26200.9168, 26H1 to 10.0.28000.2704, Windows Server 2022 to 10.0.20348.5499, and Windows Server 2025 (incl. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, conduct an immediate asset inventory to identify all Windows 11 (23H2/24H2/25H2/26H1) and Windows Server 2022/2025 systems potentially affected by CVE-2026-62815, prioritizing those with internet-facing or untrusted network exposure. …
