DescriptionCVE.org

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Volume Manager Extension Driver allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Windows Volume Manager Extension Driver enables network-based remote code execution across virtually all supported Windows client and server releases, from Windows Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2025. The CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) confirms unauthenticated network exploitability requiring one user interaction, likely triggered when a victim accesses or mounts a malicious network resource that causes the kernel-mode driver to process attacker-controlled data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The CVSS PR:N confirms no authentication is required from the attacker's side. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 8.8 accurately reflects the elevated real-world severity: the network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and absence of required privileges (PR:N) combine to make this broadly exploitable against any reachable unpatched Windows host. … 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 vendor-released patches immediately via Windows Update or WSUS - Microsoft has issued updates for every affected build listed in the affected versions matrix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify and catalog all Windows Server 2012-2025 and Windows 11 systems (through version 26H1) in your environment, prioritizing servers and systems with network-share access. …
