There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, so exploitation would require winning a memory-corruption race after already having a foothold.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Push Notifications component (WNS/WpnService) lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user overwrite adjacent heap memory to gain SYSTEM-level control across Windows 10 (1607-22H2), Windows 11 (24H2-26H1), and Windows Server 2012 R2 through 2025. Microsoft reported the flaw and has shipped a fix; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. The high CVSS 7.8 reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact once triggered, but exploitation requires prior local access.

Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows Kernel allows an already-authenticated attacker to gain SYSTEM-level control by exploiting a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory corruption condition. The flaw affects a broad range of supported Windows client and server releases (Windows 10 1809 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2019 through 2025) and, per the CVSS 7.8 vector, yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; Microsoft has released a patch.

Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Brokering File System affects Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025, where a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory-corruption flaw lets an already-authenticated local user execute code with elevated (typically SYSTEM) privileges. Microsoft has released a patch and reported the issue itself; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting a locally-exploitable but high-impact elevation path.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Redirected Drive Buffering Subsystem (RDBSS) lets an authenticated low-privileged attacker read memory beyond an allocated buffer to elevate to higher privileges. The flaw affects a broad range of currently-supported Windows client and server releases (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, Windows Server 2012 through Server 2025) and carries a CVSS 7.0 (High) rating. Microsoft has released a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Kernel lets a low-privileged, authenticated attacker gain SYSTEM-level control by triggering a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122). The flaw spans a broad platform range from Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2012 through Server 2025, and was reported internally by Microsoft. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV, but the ubiquity of the affected component plus full high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability make it a meaningful patch priority.

Improper certificate validation in Windows Cryptographic Services allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature over a network.

Use of a cryptographic primitive with a risky implementation in Windows Key Guard allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.

Integer underflow in the Windows Kernel enables a locally authenticated attacker to disclose sensitive kernel memory contents across a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server platforms. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms that any low-privilege local user can trigger the flaw without special configuration or user interaction, yielding high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability consequences. Microsoft has released a patch via the July 2026 Security Update Guide; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Composite Image File System Driver allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.

Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor in Windows Trusted Runtime Interface Driver allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.

Improper privilege management in Microsoft Windows DNS allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Clip Service (clipboard/cloud clipboard component, cbdhsvc) affects a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2019-2025 builds, where a race condition in concurrent access to a shared resource lets an already-authenticated local attacker win a timing window to gain higher privileges. 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. Note a source conflict: the description and CWE describe privilege elevation with high confidentiality/integrity/availability impact, while the intelligence tags label it 'Information Disclosure' - treat the primary impact as local EoP per the CVSS vector.

Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows App Store (AppX/package deployment component) allows an authorized, low-privileged user to win a race condition and gain higher privileges on affected Windows client and server builds spanning Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2016 through 2025. Exploitation requires local access and already-held low privileges, and the high attack complexity reflects the timing precision needed to win the race. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but Microsoft has released a patch.

Privilege escalation in the Windows Win32K kernel-mode subsystem lets an already-authenticated local user gain SYSTEM-level control across a broad range of Windows client and server releases (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2012 through Server 2025). Rooted in improper access control (CWE-284), successful exploitation yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the host. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVSS vector's high attack complexity (AC:H) tempers the practical risk.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Win32K kernel-mode subsystem allows an already-authenticated, low-privileged user to elevate to SYSTEM through improper access control (CWE-284). Affected builds span Windows 10 (1607 through 22H2), Windows 11 (24H2/25H2/26H1), and Windows Server 2012 through 2025. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; Microsoft has released a patch.
