CVE Summary Severity CVSS EPSS Priority Signals
CVE-2026-42897 Cross-site scripting (XSS) in Microsoft Exchange Server enables remote attackers to spoof content and steal credentials without authentication. Affects Exchange Server 2016 CU23, 2019 CU14/CU15, and Subscription Edition. Functional exploit code exists (CVSS temporal E:F) though no active exploitation confirmed at analysis time. CVSS 8.1 (High) driven by network vector, no authentication requirement, and dual confidentiality/integrity impact. Microsoft released patches via MSRC security update guide. Medium-high priority for organizations running affected Exchange versions with webmail or OWA exposed. HIGH 8.1 0.2% 131
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-33825 Privilege escalation in Microsoft Defender Antimalware Platform versions before 4.18.26030.3011 allows authenticated local attackers to gain elevated system privileges through insufficiently granular access controls. CVSS 7.8 (High) reflects local attack vector requiring low privileges. EPSS score of 0.04% (12th percentile) indicates low probability of widespread exploitation. Microsoft has released a patched version (4.18.26030.3011) addressing the access control deficiency. HIGH 7.8 0.0% 129
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-41091 Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Defender (Malware Protection Engine) enables an authenticated low-privileged attacker to elevate to SYSTEM by abusing improper link resolution (CWE-59) before file access. The flaw scores CVSS 7.8 with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis. Microsoft has released a patch via MSRC, and there is no current CISA KEV listing or EPSS signal indicating active mass exploitation. HIGH 7.8 12.1% 126
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-20963 Microsoft Office SharePoint contains a deserialization vulnerability (CVE-2026-20963) that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code over the network through crafted serialized objects. KEV-listed with public PoC, this CVSS 8.8 vulnerability enables any SharePoint user to escalate to server-level code execution, making it a critical threat for organizations relying on SharePoint for document management and collaboration. CRITICAL 9.8 1.6% 126
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-8398 Supply chain compromise of DAEMON Tools Lite for Windows delivered trojanized installers through the legitimate vendor website daemon-tools.cc from April 8 to May 5, 2026. Attackers compromised AVB Disc Soft's build infrastructure and injected malicious code into three binaries (DTHelper.exe, DiscSoftBusServiceLite.exe, DTShellHlp.exe), all signed with the vendor's legitimate code-signing certificate. This allowed remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution on systems installing affected versions (12.5.0.2421 through 12.5.0.2434) with no user interaction required beyond normal installation. The legitimate digital signature bypassed security controls that rely on code-signing verification, making detection extremely difficult during the compromise window. CRITICAL 9.3 0.0% 117
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-32201 Improper input validation in Microsoft SharePoint Server enables network-based spoofing attacks without authentication, allowing attackers to forge communications and deceive users. Affects SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019, and SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. This vulnerability is confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV) with publicly available exploit code, making it a critical operational priority despite the moderate CVSS score of 6.5. MEDIUM 6.5 1.2% 109
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-21509 Microsoft Office contains a security feature bypass (CVE-2026-21509, CVSS 7.8) where reliance on untrusted inputs in security decisions allows local attackers to bypass protections designed to prevent execution of malicious content. KEV-listed with EPSS 9.3%, this vulnerability enables attackers to circumvent Office security features like Protected View or macro restrictions through crafted documents. HIGH 7.8 9.3% 98
KEV
CVE-2026-21510 Windows Shell contains a protection mechanism failure (CVE-2026-21510, CVSS 8.8) that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass security features over a network. KEV-listed, this vulnerability in the core Windows Shell component enables remote code execution by circumventing security boundaries designed to prevent execution of untrusted content received from the network. HIGH 8.8 3.8% 98
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-21514 Microsoft Office Word contains a security decision bypass (CVE-2026-21514, CVSS 7.8) through reliance on untrusted inputs, allowing local attackers to bypass protections when opening malicious documents. KEV-listed, this vulnerability enables document-based attacks that circumvent Word's security features designed to protect users from malicious content. HIGH 7.8 4.5% 93
KEV
CVE-2026-45498 Denial of service in Microsoft Defender Antimalware Platform allows a local, unprivileged attacker to partially degrade availability with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. The CVSS 4.0 score reflects limited impact - confidentiality and integrity are unaffected, and availability impact is rated Low. Vendor patch is available via Microsoft Security Response Center; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing. MEDIUM 4.0 2.3% 92
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-21519 Desktop Window Manager (DWM) in Windows contains a type confusion vulnerability (CVE-2026-21519, CVSS 7.8) that enables authorized local attackers to escalate privileges. KEV-listed, this kernel-level vulnerability in the Windows compositor allows any authenticated user to achieve SYSTEM-level access through exploitation of an incompatible type access in DWM's resource handling. HIGH 7.8 3.1% 92
KEV
CVE-2026-21533 Windows Remote Desktop contains an improper privilege management vulnerability (CVE-2026-21533, CVSS 7.8) enabling authorized local attackers to escalate to SYSTEM. KEV-listed, this vulnerability in the RDP subsystem is particularly concerning in environments where Remote Desktop is widely used, as it can be chained with RDP session access for complete system compromise. HIGH 7.8 2.7% 92
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-32202 Windows Shell protection mechanism failure (CVE-2026-32202) allows remote attackers to perform spoofing attacks over a network without authentication, requiring only user interaction. This low-severity vulnerability affects multiple Windows versions from Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2012 through 2025. While not actively exploited in the wild, vendor patches are available across all affected versions, and the low CVSS score (4.3) reflects limited confidentiality impact and no availability impact despite the network-accessible attack vector. MEDIUM 4.3 0.1% 92
KEV PoC
CVE-2026-20805 Desktop Windows Manager on Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2022 leaks sensitive information to local authenticated users, enabling disclosure of confidential data without modifying or disrupting system functionality. This vulnerability is confirmed actively exploited and affects multiple Windows versions with no patch currently available. An authorized attacker can exploit this with minimal complexity to extract sensitive information from the system. MEDIUM 5.5 4.8% 87
KEV
CVE-2026-21525 Windows Remote Access Connection Manager contains a null pointer dereference flaw affecting Windows 10 (versions 1809 and 21h2) and Windows 11 (version 23h2) that has been confirmed as actively exploited.
