AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in Windows Resource Management (MRM) is an integer overflow or wraparound that allows a user with authorized local privileges to elevate their privileges. The flaw operates when MRM processes certain inputs that exceed expected bounds, resulting in memory corruption and an escalation of the caller's rights. This can lead to unrestricted access to system resources and potentially full control over the affected system if exploited.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include Microsoft Windows 10 versions 1607, 1809, 21H2, and 22H2; Windows 11 versions 23H2, 24H2, 25H2, 26H2, and 26H1; and Windows Server releases 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025, including both full and Server Core installations.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 7.8 indicates high severity, and the EPSS score is unavailable, making the exact likelihood of exploitation uncertain. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local, requiring an authorized user to supply crafted inputs to MRM, which could trigger the integer overflow and lead to privilege escalation on the target machine.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Microsoft security update that addresses CVE-2026-87702 to all affected Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server releases.
  • Restart systems after installing the update so the patched MRM component loads properly.
  • Apply least‑privilege restrictions to user accounts, such as disabling device installation rights or limiting access to system paths used by MRM, to reduce the chance of the integer overflow being triggered prior to patching.
