AI-suggested

Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should prioritize upgrading affected systems to a supported and patched version of Windows 10 or later. Restrict local access to systems running Windows 10 Version 1507 by enforcing strict access controls and monitoring for suspicious activity. Disable or restrict the Universal Print Management Service if printing functionality is not required or can be temporarily suspended. Employ application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect and block attempts to exploit use-after-free conditions. Regularly audit and minimize user privileges to reduce the risk of privilege escalation. Monitor system logs and security events for unusual behavior related to print services or privilege escalation attempts. Prepare to deploy patches promptly once Microsoft releases them. Consider network segmentation to isolate legacy systems and limit potential lateral movement by attackers.

Description

Use after free in Universal Print Management Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
