Microsoft has published a patch and CVSS 3.1 rates it 7.5 (high) for the confidentiality-only impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA's SSVC framework marks exploitation as 'none' with only partial technical impact, so this is a patch-on-schedule issue rather than an emergency.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Hyper-V (Windows 11 24H2/25H2/26H1 and Windows Server 2022/2025) stems from a use-after-free memory-corruption condition that lets an attacker with a local foothold execute code at elevated, potentially SYSTEM/hypervisor-level privilege. Microsoft rates it CVSS 8.4 with total confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS is low (0.24%, 16th percentile) and CISA SSVC lists exploitation status as none, so this is a high-severity patch-on-cycle item rather than an actively exploited emergency.
Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) allows an unauthorized network attacker to run arbitrary code by triggering a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory-corruption condition. The flaw affects a broad range of Windows client and server releases from Windows 10 1607 and Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1 and Server 2025, and per its CVSS 9.8 vector requires no authentication or user interaction. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is modest (0.61%), so despite the critical score exploitation is not yet observed.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user on the host gain higher privileges due to insufficient granularity of access control (CWE-1220). Affected deployments span AD FS on Windows Server 2012 through Windows Server 2025, and the flaw carries a CVSS 7.8 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, so this is a patch-priority-driven rather than exploitation-driven risk.
Local tampering in Windows CryptoAPI (Crypt32) on Windows 11 (24H2/25H2/26H1) and Windows Server 2022/2025 stems from a missing cryptographic step, letting an authenticated local attacker undermine the integrity and confidentiality of cryptographically protected data. Microsoft rates it 7.1 (High) with high confidentiality and integrity impact; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on the CISA KEV list. A vendor patch is available through the MSRC update guide.

Per the supplied CVSS vector (PR:N), an unauthorized attacker who gets the vulnerable component to process crafted graphics data can achieve high-impact code execution (C:H/I:H/A:H) on the local system. Microsoft has published a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Remote code execution in the Windows Reliable Multicast Transport Driver (RMCAST) lets an unauthenticated network attacker trigger a use-after-free (CWE-416) and run arbitrary code on a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server systems (Server 2012 through Server 2025). Rated CVSS 8.1, the flaw carries high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability but requires winning a race condition (AC:H), and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Reported by Microsoft with a vendor patch available.
Remote code execution in the Microsoft Windows TCP/IP networking stack allows an unauthenticated attacker on the same physical or logical network segment to win a race condition and run arbitrary code on the target. The flaw spans a broad range of desktop and server builds from Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2012 through Server 2025. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but Microsoft has confirmed the issue and shipped a patch, and the high CVSS (8.8) plus network-facing kernel component make it a priority to remediate.
Denial of service in Windows Active Directory (spanning Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2012 through 2025) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker send crafted network traffic that drives an AD service into an infinite loop, exhausting CPU and rendering domain services unavailable. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N with high availability impact and no confidentiality or integrity loss, this is a pure availability threat against domain controllers. Microsoft has released a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows USB Print Driver affecting Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025 lets an already-authenticated, low-privileged user win a race condition (CWE-362) in the driver to gain higher privileges. Microsoft has released a patch and reported the flaw itself; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The high attack complexity (AC:H) reflects the timing-dependent nature of exploiting the shared-resource synchronization defect.

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).

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.
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.
