MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) role to be present on the host, and the attacker must already possess local, authenticated low-privileged access (PR:L) to the machine - there is no remote attack path (AV:L) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N). Exploitation limits: it cannot be triggered over the network, it grants only an integrity impact (I:H) with no confidentiality or availability effect, and it affects only systems within the listed Windows client and Windows Server build ranges that are below the patched versions. This is realistically a post-compromise security-feature bypass rather than an initial-access vulnerability. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity, low-priority issue in practice. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N, base 5.5) describes a locally-exploitable authorization flaw (CWE-863) that requires an already-authenticated attacker and yields only an integrity impact (I:H) with no confidentiality or availability loss. The CISA SSVC decision framework aligns with a de-prioritized posture: Exploitation=none, Automatable=no, Technical Impact=partial. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public proof-of-concept reported, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' EPSS score is NOT provided in the input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified - this is a data gap. All signals are mutually consistent (local vector, requires privileges, no automation, no observed exploitation), so there is no conflict to reconcile. The main caveat is the usual one for local privilege/security-feature bypass bugs: the real risk depends on an attacker first obtaining local authenticated access, after which this becomes a useful post-compromise step rather than an initial-access vector. Treat as routine patch-cycle priority, not emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already has valid, low-privileged local credentials on a Windows host running Routing and Remote Access Service abuses the incorrect authorization check to bypass a security feature that should have restricted the action. Because the vector is local (AV:L) with low attack complexity and no user interaction, exploitation is straightforward once a foothold exists, but it cannot be launched remotely. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Incorrect authorization in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) lets a locally authenticated low-privileged attacker bypass a security feature, producing a high integrity impact (I:H) with no confidentiality or availability effect (CVSS 5.5, AV:L/PR:L/UI:N). The issue affects Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2012 through 2025 builds below the patched versions and requires the RRAS role to be present, making it a post-compromise security-feature bypass rather than an initial-access path. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis (SSVC exploitation: none), and vendor patches are available.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patches are available from Microsoft's update guide for CVE-2026-70057 (https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-70057), updating each affected system to its fixed build-for example, Windows Server 2025 to 10.0.26100.33650, Windows Server 2022 to 10.0.20348.5761, Windows Server 2019 to 10.0.17763.9376, Windows Server 2016 to 10.0.14393.9612, Windows Server 2012 R2 to 6.3.9600.23470, Windows Server 2012 to 6.2.9200.26434, Windows 11 24H2 to 10.0.26100.9711, and Windows 10 22H2/21H2 to 10.0.19044.7807. If patching must be deferred, as a compensating control remove the RRAS role on hosts where VPN/routing is not required-this eliminates the attack surface but disables remote-access and routing functionality; where RRAS is required, restrict local interactive logon and enforce least privilege so that low-privileged accounts cannot exploit the authorization bypass, and monitor for anomalous RRAS configuration or policy changes. Note that the issue is local, authenticated, and integrity-only, so these mitigations reduce exposure without addressing a remote attack path.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) in the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), the built-in Windows role that provides VPN, dial-up, and IP routing functionality. The flaw is a security-feature bypass reachable only from the local machine (AV:L) by an attacker who already holds authenticated low privileges (PR:L), with no user interaction (UI:N); scope is unchanged (S:U) and only integrity is impacted (I:H). Because exploitation requires the RRAS role to be installed and a pre-existing local foothold, the practical risk is a privilege or policy-check bypass within an already compromised host rather than a remote or unauthenticated attack vector. Affected builds span the listed Windows client and Windows Server versions, including Server Core installations, all below their respective patched build numbers.
