DescriptionCVE.org

Missing authorization in Data Sharing Service Client allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Data Sharing Service Client (DsSvc) enables a low-privileged authenticated local user to gain SYSTEM-level access across a sweeping range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server releases. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the service client fails to enforce authorization checks on operations that should be restricted to higher-privilege callers, allowing a standard user account to invoke privileged service operations without additional conditions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid, low-privilege authenticated user account (standard OS login) on an affected Windows system - no special features, non-default service configurations, or elevated rights are needed beyond a standard local or domain user session. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.8 score accurately reflects a classic local privilege escalation: exploitation requires only a foothold as a standard authenticated user, after which full SYSTEM-level compromise follows with low complexity and no user interaction needed. … 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 update that brings affected systems to or above the fixed build versions listed in the affected products section. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server systems across your environment and flag critical infrastructure for priority patching. …
