Exploitation Conditions

Requires user interaction (UI:R) - a Windows user must actively access or interact with an attacker-controlled network storage resource (e.g., a crafted SMB share, network path, or iSCSI target) to trigger the vulnerable code path in the SCSI Class System File driver. No authentication is required from the attacker side (PR:N). The attack is network-accessible (AV:N), meaning the attacker does not need local or adjacent network access beyond standard internet or LAN reachability. Low attack complexity (AC:L) indicates no race condition or special timing is required. Exploitation is not automatable per SSVC (consistent with UI:R), limiting bulk/worm-style propagation. The impact is limited to information disclosure - no code execution, no integrity or availability impact results directly from this vulnerability alone.

Impact

The CVSS 6.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects a meaningful but bounded risk: confidentiality impact is high, but exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R), constraining mass automated exploitation. The SSVC framework corroborates this - Automatable: no directly mirrors UI:R, and Technical Impact: partial aligns with the disclosure-only profile. No EPSS score is provided in the input data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified numerically. No public exploit code exists, and CISA has not added this to KEV at time of analysis. The breadth of affected Windows versions (Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1) increases the total exposed population significantly, even if per-host risk is moderate. The pure C:H/I:N/A:N vector means successful exploitation does not grant code execution or persistent access on its own, though leaked kernel memory could facilitate further exploitation as a prerequisite step (e.g., ASLR bypass). Vendor patch is confirmed available; prompt patching is the primary action.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts or presents a crafted network storage resource (such as a malformed SMB share or iSCSI target exposing a manipulated SCSI response); when a targeted Windows user browses or connects to that resource, the SCSI Class driver processes the malformed SCSI data and the integer underflow causes an out-of-bounds read, returning kernel memory contents to the attacker. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, and the required user interaction step limits opportunistic mass exploitation.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 08, 2026

Integer underflow (CWE-191) in the Microsoft Windows SCSI Class System File enables remote unauthenticated attackers to disclose kernel-level information when a user interacts with a crafted resource, affecting all major Windows desktop and server releases from Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1. The out-of-bounds read condition triggered by the wraparound arithmetic can expose high-confidentiality memory contents (C:H) with no integrity or availability impact. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the CISA SSVC framework rates exploitation status as none and technical impact as partial, consistent with a disclosure-only profile.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch available via Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), or the Microsoft Update Catalog. Apply the monthly cumulative update corresponding to your build channel: Windows 11 23H2 → 10.0.22631.7582 or later; Windows 10 22H2 → 10.0.19045.7725 or later; Server 2025 → 10.0.26100.33438 or later; Server 2022 → 10.0.20348.5622 or later; Server 2016/Windows 10 1607 → 10.0.14393.9512 or later; Server 2019/Windows 10 1809 → 10.0.17763.9245 or later; Server 2012 R2 → 6.3.9600.23397 or later; Server 2012 → 6.2.9200.26349 or later. No documented workaround is available from the vendor. As a compensating control for delayed patching, restrict or monitor network-accessible SCSI and storage interfaces (iSCSI initiators, SMB-attached storage paths) at the network boundary, which reduces attacker-reachable surface consistent with the AV:N vector.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The Windows SCSI Class System File (the kernel-mode storage class driver, typically classpnp.sys) abstracts SCSI I/O operations for storage devices on Windows. CWE-191 (Integer Underflow / Wrap-or-Wraparound) arises when a subtraction operation produces a result below the minimum representable integer value, causing it to wrap to a very large positive value. In a kernel driver context this commonly produces an out-of-bounds read that leaks adjacent memory - potentially exposing kernel addresses, stack contents, or sensitive data. The CVSS network attack vector (AV:N) indicates the vulnerable code path can be reached via network-accessible storage protocols (e.g., SMB-backed SCSI pass-through or iSCSI), not requiring physical or local access to the storage device. Affected Windows builds span from Server 2012 (6.2.x) through Windows 11 26H1 (10.0.28000.x), indicating the flaw exists in a long-lived shared code path within the SCSI class driver stack.
