The weakness involves improper handling of Windows Push Notification data, leading to exposure of confidential information. The weakness is classified as CWE-200. The CVE is rated with a CVSS score of 5.5, indicating a moderate impact and potential compromise of data confidentiality for users with local access.

Affected Systems

Microsoft Windows versions 10 21H2 and 22H2, Windows 11 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1, and Windows Server 2022, 2025, including Server Core installations are affected. The vulnerability is present in the push notification subsystem of these editions and applies to both x86, x64, and arm64 architectures where listed.
