DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Windows Wireless Networking allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free in the Windows Wireless Networking subsystem enables a locally authenticated low-privileged attacker to escalate to full system privileges on a wide range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server editions. The vulnerability carries CVSS 7.0 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L) reflecting that exploitation is locally constrained and requires navigating high-complexity timing conditions typical of UAF race conditions, but the resulting impact is complete C/I/A compromise. …
