AI Analysis

Impact

An out‑of‑bounds read flaw in Windows Virtualization‑Based Security (VBS) allows a locally authorized attacker to read arbitrary data in memory that should be protected, potentially leaking confidential files or secrets stored on the affected system.

Affected Systems

The flaw is present in Microsoft Windows 11 versions 23H2, 24H2, 25H2, 26H1 and in Windows Server 2025, including the Server Core variant.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 5.5 the vulnerability is considered medium severity. No EPSS value is available and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting a lower likelihood of widespread exploitation. The attack requires local authority—such as a privileged user or malware running with elevated rights—and therefore does not provide remote code execution or denial of service.

Generated by OpenCVE AI on September 9, 2026 at 03:05 UTC.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest Windows security update addressed in the Microsoft Security Response Center for the affected Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025 releases.
  • If the environment can tolerate it, disable VBS by configuring the relevant Group Policy setting or registry key to eliminate the vulnerability’s attack surface.
  • Enforce least privilege for local accounts, reducing the number of users with local administrative rights to limit the scope of potential data disclosure.
