Impact

A heap-based buffer overflow in the Windows Bluetooth Port Driver allows an authorized local user to gain higher system privileges. Classified as CWE‑122, the flaw can be exploited by manipulating driver memory to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to full system compromise if the attacker can control the vulnerability.

Affected Systems

All recent Windows desktop and server releases are impacted, including Windows 10 versions 1607, 1809, 21H2, 22H2, Windows 11 23H2, 24H2, 25H2, 26H2, 26H1, and the Server 2016, Server 2019, Server 2022, and Server 2025 editions (both full and core installations).

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7 indicates moderate severity; EPSS is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is local, meaning any authorized user can trigger the flaw to elevate their privileges.
