CVE-2026-32088
MediumCVSS 6.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk8th percentile - higher than 8% of all known CVEs
Summary
Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows Biometric Service allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature with a physical attack.
Risk Assessment
Bypassing the biometric security feature may allow an unauthorized attacker to gain access to protected resources. However, it requires physical access to the device.
Recommendation
Apply the Windows security update containing the fix for this race condition. Restrict physical access to devices with biometric features.
