AI Analysis

Impact

An improper synchronization in the Windows Bluetooth Service creates a race condition that permits a local user with authorized access to increase privileges. The flaw allows an attacker to alter the execution context and execute code at an elevated level, potentially compromising system integrity and confidentiality. This weakness is classified as a race condition, CWE‑362.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects multiple Microsoft Windows releases, including Windows 10 21H2 and 22H2, Windows 11 23H2, 24H2, 25H2 and 26H1, as well as Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025 (including Server Core).

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 7, the flaw carries a moderate to high severity. The EPSS score is not available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the vulnerability requires local authorized access, the attack vector is likely a local user or elevated background process. Once exploited, an attacker can gain elevated privileges, enabling malicious code execution or system tampering.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest Windows security updates that address the Bluetooth Service race condition.
  • If Bluetooth is not required, disable or restrict the Bluetooth service to reduce attack surface.
  • Apply least‑privilege controls to local user accounts to mitigate potential privilege escalation.
