The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess local, low-privileged authenticated access to the Windows host (PR:L), from which they submit a maliciously crafted HID (Human Interface Device) report descriptor that the HID Parser Library processes, triggering the CWE-190 integer overflow. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and complexity is low (AC:L). The principal limiting factor is the local attack vector: there is no remote or network-facing exploitation path, so an attacker must first obtain code execution or an interactive session as any user. The flaw affects default Windows configurations across the listed Windows 10, 11, and Server builds (no special feature toggle is indicated), but realistic risk is bounded to multi-user, kiosk, or post-initial-compromise scenarios where an untrusted principal can reach the HID parsing path.

Impact

This is a locally-exploitable elevation-of-privilege flaw in the Windows HID Parser Library. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms a local attack vector requiring low-privilege authenticated access with low complexity and no user interaction, yielding high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (score 7.8). CISA's SSVC decision framework corroborates the severity on impact (Technical Impact: total) but tempers urgency: Exploitation is 'none' (no observed exploitation) and Automatable is 'no', consistent with a local EoP that cannot be sprayed remotely. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit was provided in the input, so per precision rules this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' Net assessment: a genuine but non-emergency patch priority - real post-compromise value to an attacker who already has a foothold, yet not a mass-exploitation or wormable threat. The signals are internally consistent (local vector + SSVC not-automatable + no KEV all agree), so there is no contradiction to flag; the main limitation is that this is one of a large Windows Patch-Tuesday-style batch and should be prioritized for systems where untrusted local users or low-privilege processes run.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has already gained low-privileged code execution on a Windows host (e.g., via a standard user account or a sandboxed process) supplies crafted HID descriptor data that triggers an integer overflow in the HID Parser Library. The resulting memory corruption is leveraged to execute code at SYSTEM, completing a local privilege escalation. No public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis, and no user interaction is required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026

Local privilege escalation in the Windows HID Parser Library lets an attacker who already holds low-privileged authenticated access to a Windows host escalate to full system-level control by submitting a malformed HID report descriptor that triggers a CWE-190 integer overflow (CVSS 3.1 base 7.8, AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Exploitation is local-only, requires no user interaction, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; CISA's SSVC assessment records exploitation as 'none' and automatable as 'no', while rating technical impact as total. Because the vulnerable parser sits on the standard HID input path present in default Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server configurations, the realistic risk is concentrated in multi-user, kiosk, and post-initial-compromise scenarios rather than in remote attack campaigns.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Microsoft security updates address this issue, and systems should be updated to at least the fixed build for their branch - 10.0.17763.9376 for Windows 10 1809 and Windows Server 2019 (including Server Core), 10.0.19044.7807 for Windows 10 21H2 and 22H2, 10.0.22631.7652 for Windows 11 23H2, 10.0.26100.9711 for Windows 11 24H2, 10.0.26200.9711 for Windows 11 25H2, 10.0.26300.9711 for Windows 11 26H2, 10.0.28000.3231 for Windows 11 26H1, 10.0.20348.5761 for Windows Server 2022, and 10.0.26100.33650 for Windows Server 2025 and Server Core; apply through the MSRC guidance at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-83877. Because there is no network-facing exploitation path, network controls are not a meaningful mitigation; the practical compensating controls are all about denying an untrusted principal the local session or the HID submission path. Restrict interactive local logon to trusted users on kiosk, shared-workstation, and multi-user hosts, and avoid running untrusted code or low-privileged process contexts that can reach the HID parsing path - the trade-off is reduced flexibility for legitimate multi-user access. On shared or kiosk devices, use Group Policy Device Installation Restrictions to prevent unprivileged users from installing or using arbitrary HID peripherals, or disable unused HID transports such as Bluetooth HID; this shrinks the attack surface but will break legitimate peripherals and accessibility devices, so it should be scoped rather than applied fleet-wide. Where mitigation must be deferred, prioritize patching by exposure: kiosk, RDP/multi-session, and other hosts where a low-privileged user can already run code should be updated first, and crash telemetry in HID parsing paths should be monitored as a possible exploitation indicator given the high technical impact recorded by SSVC.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The HID Parser Library is the Windows component that decodes HID report descriptors - the variable-length data structures supplied by keyboards, mice, touchpads, game controllers, and other human interface devices over USB, Bluetooth, or I2C HID transports - into the field, usage, and offset layout the operating system needs to interpret input reports. Report descriptors carry attacker-controllable length, count, and offset fields, and the CWE-190 integer overflow/wraparound class means the parser's size or offset arithmetic can wrap around while computing a buffer length or access offset, producing a mismatch between the allocated region and the validated index. The accompanying 'Buffer Overflow' tag indicates that this arithmetic error is subsequently converted into out-of-bounds memory access, which is why the flaw crosses a privilege boundary rather than causing only a denial of service. The assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H is consistent with that picture: the parsing occurs in a privileged context reachable from an unprivileged local process, complexity is low, no user interaction or special configuration toggle is required, and the resulting memory corruption yields high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The affected build ranges span Windows 10 1809 through 22H2, Windows 11 23H2/24H2/25H2/26H2/26H1, and Windows Server 2019, 2022, and 2025 including Server Core installations, confirming that the defect lives in the shared Windows input stack rather than in a version-specific feature or optional component.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation produces a result that exceeds the maximum value a given integer type can store.
