| Impact | Can lead to privilege escalation, data corruption, or bypassing of security checks depending on the context of the race. With a CVSS score of 7.4 (HIGH), this represents a significant risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker exploits a time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) window to modify a resource between when it's validated and when it's used. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 16, 2026
Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Capability Access Management Service (camsvc) allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
RemediationAI
Use proper synchronization mechanisms (locks, mutexes, atomic operations). Implement file locking for filesystem operations. Avoid TOCTOU patterns.

Lifecycle Timeline
3Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-49690 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Windows Capability Access Management Service (camsvc) exploitable through a race condition, enabling unauthorized attackers with local system access to gain elevated privileges. This directly impacts any Windows user with local logon capabilities and could enable lateral movement, persistence, or full system compromise if exploited post-breach.
Apply vendor patch. Until patching is complete: restrict local logon access through Group Policy (disable local administrator accounts where feasible), monitor and alert on camsvc service anomalies or repeated privilege escalation attempts, and limit user elevation through UAC enforcement.
Threat Intelligence Overview
How this decision was reached
The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.
What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.
Race conditions occur when multiple concurrent requests exploit the brief time gap between checking a condition and acting upon it (TOCTOU - Time of Check, Time of Use).
