DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Windows HTTP.sys allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation via use-after-free in the Windows HTTP.sys kernel-mode driver allows a low-privileged authenticated attacker to gain full SYSTEM-level control over affected Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025 hosts via a network attack path. The vulnerability (CWE-416) carries CVSS 7.1 with AC:H and UI:R, indicating a race-condition-dependent exploit requiring specific concurrent conditions rather than a simple reliable trigger. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a low-privilege authenticated credential valid against the target network (PR:L - unauthenticated remote exploitation is not supported by the CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Despite C:H/I:H/A:H impact metrics, the effective exploitability is substantially constrained by AC:H, PR:L, and UI:R simultaneously - a combination that makes reliable weaponization significantly harder than simpler EoP bugs. … 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 Microsoft's vendor-released cumulative updates: Windows 11 23H2 must reach build 10.0.22631.7582 or later; Windows 11 24H2 must reach 10.0.26100.9445 or later; Windows 11 25H2 must reach 10.0.26200.9445 or later; Windows 11 26H1 must reach 10.0.28000.2954 or later; Windows Server 2025 and its Server Core variant must reach 10.0.26100.33438 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025 systems and prioritize Windows Server 2025 deployments for immediate patching. …
