Privilege escalation via heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Enterprise App Management affects a broad swath of Windows desktop and server releases, from Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2012 through 2025. An authenticated network attacker with low privileges who can induce a target user to interact with a crafted payload can trigger the overflow and achieve full system-level compromise (High C/I/A). No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing was identified at time of analysis, but the breadth of affected Windows versions and the vendor-released patch signal a systemic component-level flaw.
