Missing authorization in Windows Remote Access Connection Manager allows an authorized attacker to perform tampering locally.
AnalysisAI
Tampering in the Windows Remote Access Connection Manager (RASMAN) service allows a local low-privileged authenticated user to modify protected system state without proper authorization checks. Affecting a broad swath of Windows releases - from Server 2012 R2 through Windows 11 25H2 and Server 2025 - the root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): RASMAN performs sensitive operations without verifying the caller's entitlement to execute them. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an existing local authenticated session on the target Windows system with at minimum a low-privilege (standard user) account - PR:L in the CVSS vector confirms this. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 5.5 score (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) accurately characterizes this as a moderate-severity local tampering flaw: attack complexity is low and no user interaction is needed, but the attack surface is strictly local and requires an existing authenticated session, meaningfully capping real-world impact compared to network-reachable vulnerabilities. … 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 updates for the affected Windows versions as detailed in the MSRC advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-72966. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
