Windows DWM Core Library Use-After-Free EoP
2026-06-09
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library enables an authenticated low-privilege attacker to gain elevated rights through a use-after-free memory corruption flaw. The issue carries a CVSS 7.8 (High) rating with total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. CISA SSVC scoring marks exploitation as 'none' and not automatable, suggesting limited real-world activity despite the severe technical impact.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library enables an authorized low-privilege user to elevate to higher privileges via a use-after-free condition. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.8 (High) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Microsoft has acknowledged the issue through MSRC. Successful exploitation grants full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the affected host.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library enables an authenticated low-privileged attacker to gain elevated privileges through a use-after-free memory corruption flaw. CVSS 7.8 reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability but requires local access and existing user-level credentials. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library allows an authenticated low-privilege attacker to gain higher privileges through a use-after-free memory corruption flaw. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.8 with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Successful exploitation typically yields SYSTEM-level code execution on the affected Windows host.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate to higher privileges by exploiting a use-after-free memory corruption flaw (CWE-416). The issue was reported by Microsoft's security team (secure@microsoft.com) and tracked via MSRC, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Successful exploitation yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the local host.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library stems from a use-after-free condition (CWE-122) that lets an authenticated low-privileged user gain elevated rights on affected Windows systems. The flaw was reported by Microsoft (secure@microsoft.com) and tracked via MSRC, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing. CVSS 7.8 reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability once the attacker has local foothold.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate to higher privileges on the host by triggering a use-after-free condition. The flaw was reported by Microsoft (MSRC) and carries a CVSS 7.8 with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS data was not provided and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate to SYSTEM via a use-after-free memory corruption flaw. CVSS 7.8 with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but currently no public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA SSVC rates exploitation status as 'none' with automation as 'no'.
