AI Analysis

Impact

The Windows DHCP Server contains an integer underflow that can be exploited by an unauthorized network attacker to read memory across DHCP packets, allowing disclosure of sensitive data from the server. This vulnerability falls under CWE‑125 and CWE‑191 and would compromise confidentiality of configuration and potentially user data.

Affected Systems

Microsoft Windows 10 (1607, 1809) and Windows Server (2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022, 2025) including Server Core installations, all of which run the affected DHCP Server component.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate risk, and the EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests a low likelihood of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a nearby network attacker sending crafted DHCP packets to trigger the integer underflow; no network base privileges are required beyond access to the DHCP traffic.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the Microsoft security update for CVE‑2026‑62715 from the Microsoft Security Response Center (link provided in references).
  • Restrict DHCP traffic to trusted endpoints by implementing ACLs or using DHCP scopes that limit client access.
  • Segment the network so that the DHCP server resides in a protected subnet isolated from general client traffic.
