Memory Corruption

Local arbitrary code execution in Microsoft Office (2016, 2019, LTSC 2021/2024, Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, and Office for Mac 2021/2024) arises from a type-confusion flaw (CWE-843) that lets an attacker run code in the context of the current user when a victim opens a crafted file. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) reflecting local vector with required user interaction and high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but a vendor patch is available via MSRC.

Local code execution in Microsoft Office (2016, 2019, LTSC 2021/2024, Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, and Office for Mac) stems from a use-after-free memory corruption (CWE-416) that an attacker triggers when a victim opens a maliciously crafted document. Rated CVSS 7.8 with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, exploitation requires user interaction but no prior authentication, letting an attacker run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but Microsoft has released a fix, so patching should be prioritized during the normal Patch Tuesday cycle.

Local code execution in Microsoft Excel (Office 2016 through LTSC 2024, Microsoft 365 Apps, and Mac editions) allows an attacker to run arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a maliciously crafted spreadsheet that triggers a type-confusion condition in Excel's file parser. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.8 (High) with the local vector reflecting file-open exploitation rather than remote-network access, and success requires user interaction. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local code execution in Microsoft Office (2016, 2019, LTSC 2021/2024, Microsoft 365 Apps, and Office for Mac 2021/2024) arises from a use-after-free memory corruption flaw that an attacker triggers by convincing a user to open a maliciously crafted Office document. Successful exploitation runs arbitrary code in the context of the current user, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the host. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; Microsoft has published a patch via MSRC.

Local code execution in Microsoft Office (2016, 2019, LTSC 2021/2024, Microsoft 365 Apps, and the macOS editions) arises from a use-after-free memory-corruption flaw (CWE-416) that lets an attacker run arbitrary code in the context of the current user after the victim opens a maliciously crafted document. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and requires user interaction. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but a vendor patch is available via MSRC.

Local code execution in Microsoft Office Excel (across Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, Office 2019, Office LTSC 2021/2024, and their macOS equivalents) arises from a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory-corruption flaw triggered when a user opens a maliciously crafted spreadsheet. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) indicates an unauthenticated attacker can achieve full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact but requires the victim to open a file, making it a classic phishing-delivered client-side bug. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, though Excel memory-corruption bugs are historically attractive targets.

Local code execution in Microsoft Office (including Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, Office 2016/2019, and Office LTSC 2021/2024) stems from a use-after-free memory-corruption flaw (CWE-416). An attacker who convinces a user to open a specially crafted Office document can execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, gaining full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Exploitation requires user interaction (opening a malicious file) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Local code execution in the Windows DHCP Client service stems from a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory-corruption flaw affecting a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server releases (Server 2012 through Server 2025). Per the CVSS vector an unauthenticated attacker with local access can achieve high-impact code execution with no user interaction. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; Microsoft has released a patch through the MSRC update guide.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Clipboard Server (Cliprdr/RDP clipboard virtual channel service) affects a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server builds (from 1809 through 11 26H1 and Server 2025). An authenticated local attacker who can trigger a use-after-free (CWE-416) in the service can corrupt memory to run code at elevated (SYSTEM-level) privilege. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; Microsoft has released a patch.

Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) allows an unauthorized network attacker to run arbitrary code by triggering a type-confusion condition (CWE-843) in the OLE component.

Reported by Microsoft with a vendor patch available and an SSVC 'total' technical-impact rating, it currently has no public exploit and a low EPSS score (0.25%, 16th percentile), indicating no observed exploitation to date. The bug requires an existing low-privilege foothold on the machine, making it a post-compromise escalation primitive rather than an initial-access vector.

Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows NTFS (New Technology File System) driver lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user corrupt kernel memory via a use-after-free (CWE-416) and elevate to SYSTEM. The flaw affects a broad Windows client and server matrix (Windows 10 1809 through Windows 11 26H1, Windows Server 2019/2022/2025). It has no public exploit identified at time of analysis and is not on CISA KEV, but as a Microsoft-reported, patched NTFS kernel bug it is a routine patch-priority item on standard Patch Tuesday cycles.

Privilege escalation in the Windows Remote Access Connection Manager (RasMan) service lets an authenticated, low-privileged attacker corrupt memory over the network to gain higher privileges on affected Windows 10, 11, and Server systems. The flaw is a CWE-416 use-after-free carrying a CVSS 8.8 with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Microsoft rates it CVSS 9.8, and the SSVC assessment lists total technical impact but notes no observed exploitation and that it is not automatable. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV; EPSS is low at 0.67% (48th percentile).

Elevation of privilege in the Windows Runtime (WinRT) component affects Windows 10 (21H2/22H2), Windows 11 (24H2/25H2/26H1), and Windows Server 2025, where a use-after-free memory-corruption flaw lets an already-authenticated local user run code at higher privilege. Microsoft has released a patch and reported the issue; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV. Given the CVSS 7.8 (Important) rating and full C/I/A impact, this is a standard local privilege-escalation risk suited for regular patch prioritization rather than emergency response.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Graphics Kernel component allows an authenticated attacker to elevate to SYSTEM by triggering a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory-corruption condition. All currently supported Windows client and server builds are affected - from Windows 10 1809 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2019 through 2025. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; Microsoft has released a patch, and the CVSS 7.8 (Important) rating reflects high impact but a local-access, low-privilege prerequisite.

Local privilege escalation in Windows Runtime (WinRT) on Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025 allows an authenticated local user to gain higher privileges by exploiting a use-after-free memory-corruption flaw (CWE-416). Successful exploitation yields high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, effectively enabling escalation to SYSTEM-level control on the host. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; the elevated attack complexity (AC:H) indicates exploitation requires winning a race or meeting specific timing/heap conditions.

Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows Kernel allows an unauthorized attacker to gain elevated (SYSTEM-level) privileges by triggering a use-after-free condition (CWE-416) in kernel memory. The flaw affects a broad range of supported Windows client and server releases, from Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2025. 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 an already-authenticated attacker corrupt kernel memory via a use-after-free (CWE-416) and gain full control of the host. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/PR:L, scope-changed with C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a low-privileged local user escalating to SYSTEM-level compromise across a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server builds. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but Microsoft has released a patch.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Kernel Mode Driver affects Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025, where a use-after-free (CWE-416) lets an already-authenticated local attacker corrupt kernel memory and elevate to SYSTEM. Reported by Microsoft with a patch already available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. The CVSS 7.8 (AV:L/PR:L) reflects a high-impact but locally-scoped flaw requiring an existing foothold on the host.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Storage component affects a broad range of Windows client and server builds (Windows 10 1809 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2019 through 2025). By exploiting a use-after-free memory-corruption flaw (CWE-416), an already-authenticated local attacker can elevate to SYSTEM-level privileges. Reported by Microsoft with a patch available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low (0.15%), and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none.

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 code execution in Microsoft Excel (2016, Office 2019, Office LTSC 2021/2024, Microsoft 365 Apps, Office for Mac, and Office Online Server) arises from a use-after-free memory corruption (CWE-416) that an attacker triggers when a victim opens a maliciously crafted spreadsheet. Exploitation runs code in the context of the current user and requires user interaction (opening the file), with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. This is a locally-exploited, phishing-delivered class of bug typical of Office file-format handlers, patched by Microsoft via MSRC.

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.

Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Win32K (the kernel-mode GUI subsystem) allows an authenticated local user to elevate to SYSTEM by triggering a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory corruption condition. The flaw affects a broad range of supported builds spanning Windows 10 1809 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2019 through 2025, including Server Core installations. Microsoft 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 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.

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.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Speech component affects a broad range of Windows client and server releases (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2016 through 2025). A use-after-free flaw (CWE-416) lets an authenticated local attacker corrupt memory to gain SYSTEM-level privileges; CVSS is 7.8 with total technical impact per CISA SSVC. 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.

Remote code execution in the Microsoft Windows Server 2025 DNS Server role allows an authenticated network attacker to run arbitrary code by triggering a use-after-free memory-corruption condition (CWE-416). Both the full and Server Core installations of build 10.0.26100 prior to 10.0.26100.33158 are affected, with total impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC currently rates exploitation as 'none'; EPSS is modest at 0.50% (39th percentile).

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 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.

Heap out-of-bounds write in Python Pillow prior to 12.3.0 lets an attacker who controls the rank-filter size parameter corrupt native heap memory and crash or potentially manipulate the process. ImageFilter.RankFilter.filter() calls image.expand(size // 2, size // 2) before validating the filter size, and the native ImagingExpand() routine computes output dimensions using unchecked signed-int arithmetic, so a very large odd size overflows and drives an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). No public exploit is identified at time of analysis; the flaw is fixed in Pillow 12.3.0.

Denial-of-service and controlled heap corruption in Python's Pillow imaging library (all versions prior to 12.3.0) occurs when ImageCms.ImageCmsTransform.apply() is invoked with an output image whose mode does not match the transform's declared output mode, causing an out-of-bounds write in the native color-management code. The pre-fix code only validated the output mode and never validated the input mode, so a mismatched buffer geometry lets the C-level transform write past allocation bounds. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; the fix is confirmed in release 12.3.0 via the vendor security advisory GHSA-9hw9-ch79-4vh6.

Local privilege escalation and kernel memory corruption in Zephyr RTOS on Xtensa SoCs (v3.7.0 through v4.4.0) built with CONFIG_XTENSA_MPU and CONFIG_USERSPACE, where arch_buffer_validate() fails open on an integer-overflow edge case, letting an unprivileged user thread trick the kernel into reading or writing arbitrary kernel/partition memory on its behalf. The flaw stems from a default-permit return value combined with a ROUND_UP address-space wrap that skips the MPU probe loop entirely, and it is not caught by the existing syscall-layer overflow guards. Vendor patch is available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and this is not in CISA KEV.

Arbitrary code execution in Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation is possible through an out-of-bounds write in the siman.exe (Siman) simulation-language component, which mishandles user-supplied data when parsing a model file. An attacker who convinces a user to open a crafted Arena file can run code in the context of that user's process. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, so risk is currently theoretical rather than actively exploited.

Arbitrary code execution in Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation is possible through an out-of-bounds write in the linker.exe (Siman) component, which fails to properly validate user-supplied data parsed from simulation model files. A local attacker who convinces a user to open a specially crafted Arena file can corrupt memory and run code in the context of the current user. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, the issue is not in CISA KEV, and no EPSS score was provided, so real-world exploitation appears theoretical rather than observed.

Arbitrary code execution in Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation is possible through an out-of-bounds write in the expmt.exe (Siman) component, which fails to validate user-supplied data when parsing model/experiment files. A local attacker who convinces an engineer to open a malicious Arena file can run code in the context of the current user. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV; it was self-reported by Rockwell's PSIRT (advisory SD1784).

Arbitrary code execution in Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation is possible through an out-of-bounds write in the model.exe (Siman) component when a victim opens a maliciously crafted simulation model file. The flaw lets an attacker run code in the context of the current user by tricking an operator or engineer into opening a booby-trapped file, making it a client-side, file-delivery RCE rather than a remotely reachable network service bug. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS or CISA KEV data was provided, so real-world exploitation appears limited to social-engineering-driven targeting.

Memory corruption in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP lets an authenticated attacker exploit logical flaws in memory management (an out-of-bounds write) to read or alter data and crash the system, with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. SAP rates it CVSS 9.9 with a changed scope, meaning a low-privileged user can affect components beyond their own authorization boundary. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and network reachability make it a high-priority patch for any exposed ABAP stack.

Out-of-bounds write in the Shibby Tomato router firmware (versions up to and including 1.28.0000) lets authenticated remote users corrupt memory through the apcupsd web component. The flaw sits in the main() function of www/apcupsd/tomatodata.cgi, where crafted input reaches an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) that can crash the CGI or potentially execute code on the router. Publicly available exploit code exists (via VulDB/Gitee), but there is no confirmed active exploitation; note that this project has been superseded by FreshTomato and is effectively end-of-life.

Kernel memory corruption in the Zephyr RTOS (versions v1.14.0 through v4.4.0) lets an unprivileged user-mode thread corrupt the kernel's dynamic object-tracking list across the userspace security boundary. The flaw is a use-after-free race (CWE-416) in the obj_list traversal, exploitable only on builds combining CONFIG_SMP, CONFIG_USERSPACE, and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_OBJECTS, and can yield privilege escalation or a kernel crash. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; a vendor patch is available.

Stack out-of-bounds write in the Zephyr RTOS network IP-parsing utility (parse_ipv4() in subsys/net/ip/utils.c) lets a crafted "a.b.c.d:port" address string with an overlong post-colon suffix overflow a 17-byte stack buffer with fully attacker-controlled length and contents, affecting Zephyr 1.9.0 through 4.4.0. Any application that resolves a network-influenced address string via the standard socket API (zsock_getaddrinfo/literal resolution), DNS server-string configuration, or the eswifi Wi-Fi DNS-response path is exposed, yielding at minimum denial of service and potentially control-flow hijack. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; SSVC records proof-of-concept maturity and EPSS is low at 0.35%.

Out-of-bounds write in the WireGuard subsystem of Zephyr RTOS 4.4.0 lets a malicious or compromised WireGuard peer (or an on-path attacker driving an established session) corrupt memory by sending an oversized transport-data datagram. Because the flawed copy occurs before the Poly1305 authentication check, exploitation needs only a valid receiver session index rather than a valid authenticator, and reliably yields at least a remote denial of service on the target device. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; the Zephyr project has published advisory GHSA-3wqm-wgx2-9367 and an upstream fix.

Out-of-bounds kernel memory read/write in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK (the driver kit for PowerVR GPUs) allows a non-privileged local user to corrupt kernel memory through crafted GPU API calls, potentially achieving privilege escalation. The flaw stems from incorrect buffer indexing in the sparse-memory page-freeing path when pages larger than 4kB are handled. Rated CVSS 7.8 (CWE-787); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.17% (6th percentile).
