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

Exploitation Conditions

Requires Hyper-V to be installed and enabled on the target Windows 10/11 or Windows Server build, plus a local low-privileged authenticated session on that host (PR:L, AV:L, UI:N) - there is no remote network vector and no user interaction needed once the attacker has a local account. Exploitation is limited by the need for that local foothold, by Hyper-V not being installed on most default client Windows installations, and by SSVC indicating the issue is not automatable; the description does not state whether the 'local' context is the host OS or a Hyper-V guest, so guest-to-host escape cannot be confirmed from the data provided.

Impact

Signals are mixed and lean toward 'patch on normal cadence, not emergency': CVSS 7.8 with AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N reflects easy local exploitation by any authenticated low-privilege user with high impact on C/I/A, and SSVC marks Technical Impact as 'total' - consistent with a hypervisor compromise. However, SSVC Exploitation is 'none' and Automatable is 'no', EPSS is only 0.06% (19th percentile), and there is no KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The 'execute code locally' wording plus AV:L means this is not a remote or guest-to-host escape claim from the description alone; whether the low-privileged context is the host or a Hyper-V guest is NOT explicitly stated in the description and should be verified against the MSRC advisory before triaging as a VM escape. Tag 'Information Disclosure' alongside 'Buffer Overflow' is somewhat inconsistent with code-execution wording - likely reflecting the underlying CWE-125 read primitive - and should not override the description's RCE characterization.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already has a low-privileged interactive or service account on a Windows host with Hyper-V enabled triggers the out-of-bounds read in a Hyper-V interface reachable from that context, corrupting hypervisor state to execute attacker-controlled code with elevated privileges. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and SSVC marks the issue as not automatable, so realistic use is likely chained after an initial foothold (phishing, stolen creds, or another bug) rather than as a standalone mass-exploitation primitive.

AnalysisAIv3 – Jun 11, 2026

Local code execution in Microsoft Windows Hyper-V allows an authenticated low-privilege attacker to run arbitrary code on the host via an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the hypervisor. The flaw affects a broad swath of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server builds running Hyper-V, and Microsoft has released patches. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.06%), but SSVC technical impact is rated total.

Earlier versions of this analysis (2)
v2 Jun 11, 2026 - 18:58 cvss changed CVSS 7.8

Local code execution in Microsoft Windows Hyper-V stems from an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) that an authenticated low-privilege attacker on a Hyper-V host can leverage to run arbitrary code. The flaw spans virtually the entire supported Windows client and server lineup (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 25H2/26H1, plus Server 2016-2025). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates exploitation probability at only 0.06% (19th percentile).

v1 Jun 09, 2026 - 18:09 CVSS 8.4

Local code execution in Microsoft Windows Hyper-V via an out-of-bounds read condition (CWE-125) allows an unauthorized attacker with local access to execute arbitrary code on the host. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.4 reflects the unauthenticated, no-user-interaction nature of the bug combined with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released cumulative updates from Microsoft that raise affected builds to the fixed versions listed in the EUVD data (for example 10.0.19045.7417 for Windows 10 22H2, 10.0.22631.7219 for Windows 11 23H2, 10.0.26100.8655 for Windows 11 24H2 / Server 2025, and 10.0.17763.8880 for Server 2019 and Windows 10 1809); see https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-45607 for the per-KB mapping. On systems that cannot be patched immediately, restrict local logon to trusted administrators and remove the 'Hyper-V Administrators' membership from non-essential accounts (trade-off: blocks legitimate VM management), and on hosts that do not need virtualization disable the Hyper-V role/feature via Server Manager or Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All (trade-off: also disables VBS/HVCI, Windows Sandbox, WSL2, and Credential Guard, which materially weakens other defenses). Prioritize Hyper-V hosts running multi-tenant or untrusted guest workloads first; pure client devices without Hyper-V enabled remain exposed in code but not exploitable until the feature is turned on.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Hyper-V is Microsoft's Type-1 hypervisor that underpins virtualization on client Windows (Windows 10/11) and Windows Server, providing the virtualization stack used by Windows Sandbox, WSL2, virtualization-based security (VBS), and traditional guest VMs. The root cause is CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read): the hypervisor or a Hyper-V component reads memory past the bounds of an allocated buffer, which in this case is leveraged to gain code execution rather than just disclose memory - likely because the OOB read corrupts subsequent control-flow data or feeds attacker-controlled values into a code path that the attacker can pivot from. CPE data confirms the issue affects the kernel-mode OS components (cpe:2.3:o:microsoft:...) across x64 and arm64 builds of Windows 10 1607/1809/21H2/22H2 and Windows 11 23H2/24H2/25H2, indicating the vulnerable code lives in the shipped Hyper-V binaries common to those releases.

DescriptionNVD

Out-of-bounds read in Windows Hyper-V allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Microsoft Windows Hyper-V contains a local code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-45607, CVSS 7.8) that allows low-privilege authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on host systems, representing a privilege escalation risk across Windows 10, 11, and Server deployments. This is particularly critical for organizations using Hyper-V as a security boundary or for multi-tenant isolation. Immediate patching is required to prevent potential infrastructure compromise.

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.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
