DescriptionCVE.org

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Storage Spaces Controller allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Windows Storage Spaces Controller driver allows a low-privileged local attacker to execute arbitrary code, almost certainly resulting in privilege escalation to SYSTEM or kernel-level access. The flaw (CWE-122) affects a broad swath of supported Windows releases - from Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2016 through Server 2025 - making it a high-priority patching target across both desktop and server environments. …
