Frequently Asked Questions
Who is exposed to this vulnerability?
Systems running Microsoft Windows 11 or Microsoft Windows Server 2025 are identified as affected. Exploitation is local, so an attacker must be able to execute or otherwise act on the target system locally.
What level of access does an attacker need?
The vulnerability requires low privileges and does not require user interaction. It is an elevation-of-privilege issue, meaning an authorized local attacker could elevate privileges after gaining that initial access.
What is the potential impact of successful exploitation?
Successful exploitation could affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a high level. The issue is caused by a use-after-free condition in Windows Credential Providers.
