Windows Push Notifications contains a use-of-uninitialized-resource flaw (CWE-200) that enables a locally authenticated attacker to read sensitive information from memory without elevation of privilege. Affecting a wide range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server builds, the vulnerability requires only low-privilege local access and no user interaction to trigger. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none with partial technical impact, placing this in a lower-urgency remediation band despite the High confidentiality rating in the CVSS vector.

Local information disclosure in Windows Hyper-V enables an authenticated low-privileged attacker to access sensitive data they are not authorized to read, without any user interaction. Affected systems span a broad range of Windows desktop and server editions from Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1 and Server 2025. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing; however, the high confidentiality impact (C:H) and breadth of affected versions make this a meaningful patching priority, particularly in multi-tenant virtualization environments.

Windows Push Notifications on multiple Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server versions exposes sensitive memory contents through an uninitialized resource condition, allowing a low-privileged local user to read high-confidentiality data without any user interaction. The CVSS vector (AV:L/PR:L) confirms this is strictly a local privilege issue - no remote attack path exists - limiting its practical blast radius to insider threats and post-compromise lateral reconnaissance. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and Microsoft has released patches addressing all listed affected versions.

Windows Push Notifications contains a use-of-uninitialized-resource flaw (CWE-200) that enables authenticated local attackers to disclose sensitive information across a wide breadth of Microsoft Windows desktop and server platforms. Spanning Windows 10 through Windows 11 25H2 and Windows Server 2012 through Server 2025, the vulnerability carries a CVSS 5.5 Medium score with high confidentiality impact (C:H) but no integrity or availability impact. Microsoft has released patches via the June 2026 Patch Tuesday cycle; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Windows Push Notifications on a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server editions leaks sensitive memory contents to locally authenticated low-privileged users through an uninitialized resource condition (CWE-908). The CVSS vector confirms local attack vector with low-privilege authentication requirement, no user interaction needed, and high confidentiality impact - meaning an attacker who has already obtained a standard user account can read residual memory data that could include tokens, credentials, or other sensitive artifacts. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch is available via Microsoft Security Response Center.

Out-of-bounds read in the Windows Telephony Service exposes sensitive memory contents to locally authenticated attackers across a broad range of Windows client and server versions. The flaw (CWE-125) is exploitable with only low privileges and no user interaction, yielding high confidentiality impact while leaving integrity and availability unaffected. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified; CISA's SSVC framework rates this as non-automatable with partial technical impact, placing it at medium operational priority.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows NT OS Kernel allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate to higher privileges through an integer underflow condition. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.8 (High) rating with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but Microsoft has issued a patch via MSRC. Defenders should treat this as a standard Patch-Tuesday-class kernel EoP that becomes a critical post-compromise pivot once initial access is achieved.

Denial-of-service in the Windows TCP/IP stack allows an authenticated attacker on an adjacent network to crash the networking subsystem of affected Windows hosts via an incorrect buffer size calculation. Affected systems span Windows 10 (21H2, 22H2), Windows 11 (23H2 through 26H1), Windows Server 2022, and Windows Server 2025 - all unpatched builds within Microsoft-documented version ranges. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Microsoft has released fixes addressable via Windows Update; the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Windows Kerberos out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) allows a low-privilege network attacker to crash the Kerberos authentication service across all actively supported Windows client and server platforms, from Windows Server 2012 through Windows Server 2025 and Windows 11 26H1. The attack requires prior domain authentication and high-complexity triggering conditions (CVSS AC:H), limiting opportunistic mass exploitation, though a successful attack against a domain controller can deny authentication domain-wide by crashing the KDC. Vendor patches are available via the Microsoft MSRC advisory; no public exploit code exists and SSVC confirms no observed exploitation at time of analysis.

Remote code execution in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client is possible when a user connects to an attacker-controlled RDP server, where a heap-based buffer overflow triggered by a race condition (CWE-362) allows arbitrary code execution on the client machine. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.5 (High) rating with high attack complexity and required user interaction, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Microsoft has released a patch via MSRC advisory CVE-2026-42913.

Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Telephony Service allows an authenticated low-privileged attacker to elevate to higher privileges by exploiting a race condition in concurrent access to a shared resource. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.0 (High) rating with high attack complexity, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Successful exploitation grants full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the affected host.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock (afd.sys) allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate to SYSTEM via a use-after-free condition. The flaw affects Microsoft Windows installations using the standard WinSock kernel driver and has a vendor-released patch available through Microsoft's security update guide. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though afd.sys has historically been a frequent target for elevation-of-privilege exploitation.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Hotpatch Monitoring Service enables an authenticated low-privileged attacker to gain elevated privileges through an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) memory corruption flaw. The CVSS 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L) reflects local attack vector with low complexity once a foothold is obtained, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vulnerability was reported by Microsoft's own security team (secure@microsoft.com), suggesting internal discovery prior to disclosure.

Remote code execution in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client is possible when a user connects to an attacker-controlled or compromised RDP endpoint, where a race condition (CWE-362) can be triggered to corrupt heap memory and execute arbitrary code in the client process. The flaw is unauthenticated from the network attacker's perspective but requires user interaction to initiate the connection, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read out-of-bounds memory contents over the network, potentially leaking sensitive data from the RDP service process. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction and is rated CVSS 7.5 with high confidentiality impact only. At time of analysis there is no public exploit identified and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
