Use after free in Windows ALPC allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) subsystem, via a use-after-free memory corruption flaw (CWE-416), enables a locally authenticated standard user to gain full control of an affected Windows system. The vulnerability spans an exceptionally broad product surface - from Windows Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H2 and Server 2025 - making it relevant to nearly every Windows deployment environment. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to have an active low-privilege local process on the target Windows machine (PR:L), achievable via any standard domain or local user account or a previously established foothold. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.0 score reflects the combination of high local impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) tempered by AV:L and AC:H, which together substantially reduce exploitability compared to a network-reachable flaw. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the Microsoft security updates corresponding to each affected Windows version to reach the minimum fixed builds listed above - for example, Windows Server 2025 should be updated to build 10.0.26100.33438 or later, and Windows 11 24H2/25H2 to 10.0.26100.9445 or 10.0.26200.9445 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, conduct an inventory of all Windows systems across your environment to identify affected versions (Server 2012 through Server 2025, Windows 11 through 26H2). …
