CVE-2026-23668: CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') in Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1607
Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Microsoft Graphics Component allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a race condition (CWE-362) in the Microsoft Graphics Component of Windows 10 Version 1607 (build 10.0.14393.0). Improper synchronization when accessing shared resources concurrently can be exploited by an authorized local attacker to elevate privileges. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack requires local access with high attack complexity and low privileges but no user interaction. The impact includes high confidentiality, integrity, and availability consequences. A patch is available from Microsoft to remediate this issue.
Potential Impact
An authorized local attacker can exploit this race condition to elevate privileges on the affected system, potentially gaining higher-level access than intended. This can lead to full system compromise, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available from Microsoft to fix this vulnerability. It is recommended to apply the official security update for Windows 10 Version 1607 (build 10.0.14393.0) as soon as possible to remediate this issue.
