DescriptionNVD

Out-of-bounds read in Windows DHCP Server allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in Windows DHCP Server exposes adjacent memory contents and can crash the service, yielding both information disclosure and a high-severity denial-of-service condition on affected Windows systems. The flaw (CWE-125) is exploitable locally with low attack complexity and no user interaction, targeting systems where the DHCP Server role is installed across a broad range of Windows 10, 11, and Server editions from 2012 through 2025. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Gain local access to DHCP Server host
Delivery
Interact with Windows DHCP Server component
Exploit
Submit crafted malformed input to parsing routine
Execution
Trigger out-of-bounds read beyond allocated buffer
Impact
Read adjacent memory contents (info disclosure) or crash DHCP Server service (DoS)

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The Windows DHCP Server role must be explicitly installed and running on the target system - this role is not present in any default Windows installation and must be deliberately configured, making realistic targets limited to Windows Server deployments acting as network DHCP infrastructure. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 6.8 Medium (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H) presents a notable internal tension: the high availability impact (A:H) contradicts the description's characterization of this solely as an information disclosure issue - the out-of-bounds read can crash the DHCP Server service, causing a denial of service for all clients dependent on it. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A threat actor who has obtained local access to a Windows Server running the DHCP Server role - via compromised credentials, lateral movement, or an initial foothold - submits crafted input to the DHCP Server component, triggering an out-of-bounds memory read in the underlying parsing routine. The read may expose sensitive adjacent memory (credentials, configuration data) with low confidentiality impact, or cause the DHCP Server process to crash, halting address allocation for the entire network segment served by that host. …
Remediation Apply vendor-released patches via Windows Update or the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-45608. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
