Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must have local code execution on the target Windows system with at minimum low-privilege (PR:L) access - remote unauthenticated exploitation is not possible given AV:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields a score of 7.0, which appropriately reflects the local access requirement (AV:L) and high exploitation complexity (AC:H) typical of kernel use-after-free races. … 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 patches released by Microsoft for each affected Windows SKU as detailed in the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-69573. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
