Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows Kernel contains a race condition vulnerability that allows a local attacker with low-level privileges to escalate privileges. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could enable the attacker to gain SYSTEM-level access.
Exploitation status
- CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2025-12-03. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
