AI-suggested

  1. Upgrade affected systems from Windows 10 Version 1507 (build 10240.0) to a supported and fully patched Windows version, such as Windows 10 LTSC or Windows 11, to eliminate the vulnerability.
  2. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, implement strict access controls to limit local user privileges and restrict physical and remote access to affected systems.
  3. Employ application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for suspicious privilege escalation attempts.
  4. Regularly audit and review user accounts and permissions to minimize the number of users with local access rights.
  5. Isolate legacy systems from critical network segments to reduce the risk of lateral movement if compromised.
  6. Monitor security advisories from Microsoft for any out-of-band patches or mitigations related to this vulnerability.
  7. Educate users about the risks of local privilege escalation and enforce policies to prevent unauthorized software installation or execution.
  8. Consider deploying virtualization or containerization to sandbox legacy applications requiring the outdated OS, reducing exposure. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on legacy system management, access control tightening, and network segmentation to mitigate the risk until full remediation is possible.

Description

Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Windows Push Notifications allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
