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. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
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
