Local privilege escalation in the Windows Win32K kernel-mode subsystem allows an already-authenticated attacker to win a race condition (CWE-362) and elevate to SYSTEM-level privileges across supported Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2019-2025 builds. Reported by Microsoft with a vendor patch available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.16%, 5th percentile). CVSS 7.0 reflects high attack complexity (AC:H) driven by the timing-window nature of the flaw and the requirement for existing low-privilege access (PR:L).
Local code execution in Microsoft Windows Media Foundation lets an unauthorized attacker run arbitrary code by luring a user into opening a specially crafted media file. The flaw affects a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server builds (from 1809 through Windows 11 26H1 and Server 2025), and Microsoft has released patches. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and full C/I/A impact make it a standard Patch-Tuesday priority.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Win32K (the kernel-mode GUI subsystem) lets an already-authenticated low-privilege user corrupt kernel heap memory via a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) to gain SYSTEM-level control. The flaw affects a broad range of client and server builds (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2016 through 2025). Microsoft has released a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Win32K kernel-mode subsystem allows an authenticated low-privileged user to win a race condition and elevate to SYSTEM across Windows 10, Windows 11 (through 26H1), and Windows Server 2012 through 2025. Reported by Microsoft with a patch available, it carries CVSS 7.0 but a high attack complexity (AC:H) reflecting the timing-sensitive nature of the flaw. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.19%, 9th percentile), consistent with CISA SSVC rating exploitation as 'none.'
Local privilege escalation in the Windows USB Print Driver affects Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025, where a race condition (CWE-362) in the handling of a shared resource lets an already-authenticated local user win a timing window to execute code at higher privilege. Rated CVSS 7.0 with high attack complexity, it requires low privileges and no user interaction, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, SSVC exploitation status is 'none', and EPSS is low at 0.19% (9th percentile), consistent with a Microsoft-reported, patch-first disclosure.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows USB Print Driver on Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025 lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user win a timing race in the driver to gain elevated privileges. Reported by Microsoft with a patch available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. The high attack complexity (must reliably win a race window) tempers real-world exploitability despite full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) Driver allows an already-authenticated, low-privileged user to elevate to SYSTEM on a wide range of Windows client and server releases. Microsoft classifies the root cause as exposure of sensitive information (CWE-200), but the CVSS impact profile (C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects that the leaked kernel data enables full local privilege escalation. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, though CLFS has historically been a heavily exploited elevation-of-privilege target in Windows.
Remote code execution in the Windows Remote Desktop Client (RDP client on Windows 11 24H2/25H2/26H1 and Windows Server 2025) allows an unauthorized attacker to run arbitrary code by coercing a victim into connecting to a malicious or attacker-controlled RDP server, which returns crafted data that overflows a heap buffer. Reported by Microsoft with a vendor patch available, it carries CVSS 8.8 and requires user interaction (initiating the connection). EPSS is modest (0.67%, 48th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though SSVC rates it automatable with total technical impact.
Network denial of service in the Windows Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol implementation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash affected systems by triggering a heap-based buffer overflow. All impact is to availability only (CVSS 7.5, A:H, no confidentiality or integrity loss), making this a reliability/uptime threat against IPsec/VPN-facing Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server hosts rather than a code-execution vulnerability. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and lack of authentication make it a meaningful patching priority for internet-exposed IPsec endpoints.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Overlay Filter (WOF) driver allows an authenticated low-privileged user to elevate to SYSTEM by triggering a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122). The flaw spans a broad range of client and server SKUs from Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 through Server 2025. Microsoft has shipped a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in the Quality Windows Audio/Video Experience (QWAVE) service across virtually all supported Windows client and server builds (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, Windows Server 2012 through 2025) allows an authenticated local attacker to gain SYSTEM-level control by triggering a use-after-free condition. Microsoft rates the impact as total (full confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss) with CVSS 7.8. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the low EPSS score (0.20%, 10th percentile) plus CISA SSVC 'Exploitation: none' indicate no observed exploitation yet.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Hyper-V (affecting Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2019 through 2025) allows an authenticated local attacker to elevate to SYSTEM by exploiting a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory corruption condition in the hypervisor stack. Microsoft reported the issue and has shipped fixes; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the low EPSS score (0.20%, 10th percentile) plus CISA SSVC 'Exploitation: none' indicate no observed exploitation yet. The total technical impact (full C/I/A compromise) makes it a meaningful patch priority on any Hyper-V-enabled host despite the local attack vector.
Denial of service in Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to crash the service by triggering a stack-based buffer overflow over the network (CVSS 7.5, availability-only impact). Because AD FS brokers single sign-on and federated authentication, a successful attack can knock out login for every downstream application that relies on it. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Denial of service in Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker crash the service by triggering a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) over the network. The flaw affects AD FS as shipped across a broad range of Windows client and server builds (Windows 10/11 and Windows Server 2012 through 2025). Microsoft - the reporting party - has released a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows App Store component (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2016 through 2025) allows an authorized low-privileged attacker to win a race condition on an improperly synchronized shared resource and gain higher privileges. Exploitation is local-only and high-complexity because it depends on reliably hitting a narrow timing window, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. A vendor patch is available via Microsoft's MSRC update guide.
Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows Kernel (Windows 11 version 26H1) lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user corrupt kernel memory through a use-after-free condition and gain SYSTEM-level control. Microsoft self-reported the flaw and has shipped a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. The CVSS 7.8 (High) score reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise achievable entirely from a local, low-privilege foothold with no user interaction.
Remote code execution in the Microsoft Windows FTP Service allows an unauthenticated network attacker to run arbitrary code by triggering a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122). The flaw affects the FTP service across a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server (2019/2022/2025) builds and carries a critical CVSS 9.8 rating with no authentication or user interaction required. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the unauthenticated, network-reachable nature of the bug makes it a high-priority patch target.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows DNS lets an already-authenticated, low-privileged attacker corrupt heap memory to gain higher (likely SYSTEM) privileges on affected Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2022/2025 systems. The flaw is a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) reported by Microsoft itself, with a vendor patch available via MSRC. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, so it currently represents a patch-priority rather than an emergency.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows WalletService allows an authenticated low-privileged attacker to gain SYSTEM-level rights on the host, per CVSS:3.1 AV:L/AC:L/PR:L (7.8, High). The flaw stems from improper privilege management (CWE-269) in the WalletService component and affects a broad range of Windows client and server builds. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but a vendor patch from Microsoft is available.

There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.26%, but a vendor patch is available via Microsoft's MSRC update guide.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows StateRepository API lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user gain higher (typically SYSTEM-level) privileges due to insufficiently granular access control (CWE-1220). It affects a broad range of currently supported Windows client and server builds (Windows 10 1809 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2019/2022/2025). The flaw was reported by Microsoft, a vendor patch is available, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis (not listed in CISA KEV).
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Kernel affects a broad range of currently supported Windows client and server builds (Windows 10 1809/21H2/22H2, Windows 11 24H2/25H2/26H1, and Windows Server 2019/2022/2025). A use-after-free (CWE-416) in kernel memory lets an already-authenticated local attacker corrupt kernel objects to gain SYSTEM-level privileges. Reported by Microsoft with a patch available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low (0.25%), and SSVC records exploitation status as none.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Printer Drivers on Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025 allows an authenticated local attacker to gain SYSTEM-level privileges by triggering a use-after-free memory-corruption condition. The flaw grants full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) once low-level local access is obtained. Reported by Microsoft with a patch available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local information disclosure in the Microsoft Windows App Store (Store/AppX component) affects a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server releases (1607 through 26H1, Server 2016/2019/2022/2025). An authorized local attacker can leverage a use of uninitialized resource (CWE-908) to read memory contents that should not be exposed, with CVSS 7.1 reflecting high confidentiality impact but requiring low-privileged authenticated local access. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, it is not listed in CISA KEV, and Microsoft has released a patch via the MSRC update guide.
Remote code execution in Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) allows an unauthenticated network attacker to corrupt heap memory and run arbitrary code on affected domain controllers.

Microsoft has released a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the high attack complexity (AC:H) tempers the practical exploitation likelihood.
Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Brokering File System (bfs.sys/Bfs component) affects Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025 (including Server Core), where a use-after-free (CWE-416) lets an already-authenticated local attacker corrupt kernel/broker memory to gain SYSTEM-level privileges. Exploitation requires low privileges but high attack complexity, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Microsoft has released a patch via its MSRC update guide.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows App Installer (the AppX/MSIX deployment component) lets a low-privileged but authenticated user corrupt memory via a use-after-free (CWE-416) and gain higher privileges on the host. The flaw affects Windows 11 (23H2, 24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025, was reported by Microsoft, and has a vendor patch available. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV, though the CVSS 7.0 rating and full C/I/A impact make it a meaningful patch-cycle priority.
Local privilege escalation in Windows App Installer (App Installer / MSIX handler) on Windows 11 (23H2 through 26H1) and Windows Server 2025 lets an already-authenticated local attacker win a timing race to elevate to higher privileges. The flaw stems from improper synchronization of a shared resource during concurrent execution, and Microsoft has released a patch. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Remote code execution in the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server (shipped across Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2012 through 2025) stems from a heap-based buffer overflow that lets an attacker run arbitrary code over the network. The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) scores it 9.8 and marks it unauthenticated, though as a database driver flaw the realistic trigger is a client connecting to a malicious or compromised SQL Server endpoint. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing, so this is a high-severity but not yet actively-exploited issue.
Remote code execution in the Microsoft Windows Bluetooth Port Driver (bthport) allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary code by triggering a heap-based buffer overflow over Bluetooth radio range. The flaw spans a wide range of Windows client and server builds, from Windows 10 1607 and Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1 and Server 2025. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is modest at 0.38% (30th percentile), and CISA SSVC currently marks exploitation as 'none', but the CVSS 8.8 rating and 'total' technical impact make this a high-priority patch.
Privilege elevation in the Windows App Store component affects a broad range of Microsoft Windows client and server releases (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2016 through 2025), where a race condition (CWE-362) lets an unauthorized attacker win a timing window to gain elevated privileges over a network. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.1 with a network vector and no authentication (PR:N), but high attack complexity (AC:H) reflects the difficulty of reliably winning the race. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; a vendor patch is available from Microsoft.

All supported Windows client and server releases from Windows Server 2012 through Windows 11 25H2/26H1 and Server 2025 are affected. Reported by Microsoft, this is a crash/availability issue only - no code execution or data exposure - with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and a very low (0.05%) EPSS exploitation probability.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Remote Desktop component (CWE-122 heap-based buffer overflow) allows an authenticated low-privileged user to gain SYSTEM-level control across virtually all supported Windows client and server releases, from Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2012 through 2025. Microsoft has released patches; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.04%), consistent with CISA SSVC rating exploitation as 'none'. The flaw is a serious defense-in-depth concern because it grants total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact once a foothold exists, but it is not remotely reachable and requires prior local access.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user gain SYSTEM-level rights on affected Windows client and server builds by triggering an integer underflow (CWE-191) in the driver's log-file parsing. The flaw yields total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the local machine. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS risk is low (0.06%, 19th percentile), and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none - but CLFS is a historically heavily-targeted attack surface, so patching is warranted.
Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows Telephony Service (TAPI) lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user corrupt kernel/service memory via a use-after-free and gain elevated (typically SYSTEM-level) privileges across nearly all supported Windows client and server releases. Microsoft has released patches, and the flaw carries a total technical-impact rating (SSVC), though EPSS is very low (0.04%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. It is not on CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Kernel affects Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025, where an untrusted pointer dereference (CWE-822) lets an already-authenticated local attacker execute code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Microsoft has released a patch, and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis; EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.03%) and the flaw is not on CISA KEV. Despite the 'Information Disclosure' tag applied in vendor metadata, the CVSS vector and description describe a privilege-elevation primitive with total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the affected host.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Link-Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) component affects a broad range of Windows client and server builds, where a CWE-415 double-free condition can be leveraged by an already-authenticated low-privileged user to gain higher privileges. The flaw was reported by Microsoft and is addressed in the July 2026 servicing updates; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. EPSS is negligible (0.04%, 12th percentile), consistent with the high attack complexity (AC:H) and local-only vector.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Projected File System (ProjFS) affects the full supported Windows line — Windows 10 (1809/21H2/22H2), Windows 11 (22H3 through 26H1), and Windows Server 2019/2022/2025 — where a use-after-free (CWE-416) lets an authenticated local user corrupt kernel/service memory and elevate to higher privileges. Microsoft-reported and patched, the flaw carries total technical impact per CISA SSVC but has no public exploit identified at time of analysis and a very low EPSS (0.04%). The high attack complexity (AV:L/AC:H) reflects a race-condition-style UAF that is non-trivial to win reliably.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Telephony Service (TAPI) affects a broad range of Windows client and server releases, from Windows 10 1607 and Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1 and Server 2025. An authenticated local attacker can exploit a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory-corruption flaw to gain SYSTEM-level privileges; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.04%), but the CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8 with total technical impact per CISA SSVC.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver (cldflt.sys) lets an authenticated low-privileged user corrupt kernel memory via a use-after-free and gain SYSTEM-level control across a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server builds. Microsoft has released fixes, but SSVC reports no observed exploitation and EPSS is very low (0.04%), so this is a patch-on-schedule kernel EoP rather than an emergency; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Because Cloud Files underpins OneDrive/cloud sync placeholders, the driver is present on effectively every modern Windows install.
Local information disclosure in the Microsoft Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library affects a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11 (through 26H1), and Windows Server (2016-2025) builds, where a buffer over-read (CWE-126) lets an already-authenticated local attacker read adjacent process memory. Microsoft's CVSS 7.8 vector rates full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact even though the description characterizes the outcome as information disclosure, so the leaked memory could plausibly aid further local escalation. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is negligible (0.04%), and CISA SSVC marks exploitation as none, but a vendor patch is available.
Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows TCP/IP networking stack allows an already-authenticated attacker to win a race condition and elevate to SYSTEM-level privileges across a broad range of Windows client and server releases (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2012 through 2025). Exploitation requires local, low-privileged access rather than remote reach, and Microsoft rates the technical impact as total (full confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.04%), consistent with CISA SSVC marking exploitation as none and not automatable.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Message Queuing (MSMQ) allows an authenticated low-privileged user to corrupt kernel/service memory through a double free (CWE-415) and elevate to SYSTEM. It affects a broad range of Windows client and server releases from Windows Server 2012/Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2025 where the MSMQ feature is installed. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.04%), and CISA SSVC records no known exploitation, though the technical impact is rated total.
Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows TCP/IP stack (tcpip.sys) lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user corrupt heap memory to gain SYSTEM-level control across virtually all supported Windows client and server releases.

Microsoft has released a patch and reported the flaw itself; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is very low (0.06%). SSVC rates exploitation as none but technical impact as total, marking it a classic patch-Tuesday local EoP rather than a mass-exploitation threat.
Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows Telephony Service (TAPI) lets an already-authenticated, low-privileged user corrupt kernel/service memory via a use-after-free and gain elevated privileges across virtually all supported Windows client and server builds. Microsoft has released a patch, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is negligible (0.04%) and CISA's SSVC rates exploitation as none, indicating this is a defense-in-depth fix rather than an emergency. The flaw is high-value as a post-compromise escalation primitive but requires local code execution and winning a race condition to trigger.
Remote code execution in the Windows Native WiFi Miniport Driver allows an unauthorized attacker on an adjacent network to win a timing race and run arbitrary code on affected Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server systems. The flaw stems from improper synchronization of a shared resource in the kernel-mode wireless driver and carries a total (C:H/I:H/A:H) technical impact. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS is very low (0.07%), but successful exploitation grants full kernel-level compromise without authentication.
Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows DNS lets an unauthenticated attacker corrupt heap memory over the network and run arbitrary code on affected Windows 11 (22H3 through 26H1) and Windows Server 2022/2025 systems. The flaw is a CWE-122 heap-based buffer overflow rated CVSS 9.8, reported by Microsoft with a patch available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is very low (0.07%), so this is a high-severity but not-yet-exploited issue. CISA SSVC flags it as automatable with total technical impact, meaning successful exploitation fully compromises the host.

CVSS 7.0 reflects high attack complexity but complete system compromise if successful. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the local privilege escalation vector makes this valuable for post-compromise lateral movement in enterprise environments.
Windows Boot Loader across Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2012 through 2025 omits a required cryptographic integrity step (CWE-325), enabling a locally authenticated attacker to bypass boot-time security features. The CVSS vector (AV:L/PR:L) confirms exploitation requires an existing local foothold - remote unauthenticated attacks are not possible. No active exploitation is recorded (SSVC: none, EPSS 0.23%), but SSVC rates technical impact as total, reflecting that a successful boot-level security bypass can undermine the entire trusted boot chain and enable persistent pre-OS compromise.
