DescriptionCVE.org

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

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Windows CD-ROM kernel driver allows a locally authenticated low-privileged user to escalate privileges to SYSTEM level across a broad range of Windows client and server releases from Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2012 through 2025. The vulnerability is exploitable with no user interaction and low attack complexity, making it an effective second-stage payload for post-access privilege escalation. …
